FS: Miraphone Bb 289 Gold Brass 5/4 Tuba - $5500 (SOLD)
Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:15 pm
I have a Miraphone Bb 289 5/4 in Gold Brass that I am selling. I actually purchased it here on TubeNet in 2009.
This horn got me through college, and for all intents and purposes, is in great condition. Some small dings here and there, and one large one on the bottom, that has been there since the previous owner. Asking $5500.
The valves were vented in 2008 in Houston. One of the beautiful features of the 289 - angled rotor valves that more naturally align with the wrist. No awkward angles trying to keep your wrist parallel to the floor on this one!
Beautiful sound, beautiful rose gold, beautiful engravings on the valves caps - overall, a wonderful horn!
Important specs:
Brand: Miraphone
Model: 289 Bb
Serial: 9057073
Size: 5/4
Valve type: rotor
Location: Austin, TX

Please let me know if you have any questions or are interested in purchasing this horn.
Happy tuba playing!
