Miraphone 188 CC 5 valve tuba
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2017 12:49 am
Unfortunately I have come to the point where I no longer need this beautiful instrument in my life.
It's a Miraphone 188 CC 5 valve tuba and the horn plays as beautifully as she looks! No intonation issues, no weird playing idiosyncrasies. Really great all around horn. Can be played in a large orchestral setting as well as an intimate brass quintet and feel right at home.
I have owned it for the last 8 years and have taken good care of it. It has been professionally cleaned and serviced recently and regularly about once a year. There are some spots on the horn with a little lacquer wear from use, but nothing noticeable while you are playing. There are a few small dents from general wear and use and one ugly looking dent that resulted from checking my horn on a flight. I have included pics of the ugly blemish and I assure you 100% that it does NOT affect the sound or playing experience whatsoever.

My asking price is $6000 which includes the horn, a custom miraphone gig bag and a MTS hard case. I am open to offers as well so feel free to send me a message.
