Older Mirafone 188 for sale

Greetings,

I have an older 188 CC tuba for sale. I believe it was made in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It has the old bell garland, two step fifth valve, vented valves, and will come with a Altieri bag. Price: $4,000. I can meet prospective buyers anywhere within 200 miles of Enterprise, AL. I'll travel further for serious parties provided I'm given adequate notice. I'm only selling because I recently bought a Gnagey York that is a better fit for me.

Here are the highlights:
Vintage 188-5u CC Tuba

2/3 5th valve, for those unfamiliar with this setup it gives you a dead on low f when played 235, and a nice alternate fingering of 125 for D flat and G flat

I recently had it serviced. This included a sonic clean, some dent removal, and new corks and bumpers.

Please send inquiries to my email jaydparke(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks for looking,
-Jay Parke

Here's a link for pictures. I forgot to mention in the original post that it doesn't have a thumb ring.
