I would like to sell my silver Miraphone 1291 CC 5V tuba. It has a 1292 leadpipe (which is a little smaller and gives the horn a bit more focus) and the Alan Baer valve alignment kit (which actually does make a bit of difference). It's in excellent shape and comes with a Glenn Cronkhite green and black leather gig bag and an MTS wheeled hard case. It is a great horn, handpicked at WWBW by Roger Lewis.
There are a couple of small dents on the left side of the outer branch, but they are very small and cosmetic. The bell has been straightened, so it is not pristine, though it is straight.
Now, I mostly play the sousaphone in a brass band, so the Miraphone just sits.
I think this is an excellent horn; whenever I venture up to the Hornguys in LA, I always seem to gravitate toward this model no matter what else they have.
I am asking $8,000 with the bag and case. I'm in San Diego.

If it's sitting in your outbox, then it went through and just hasn't been read.Joshtj925 wrote:I tried sending a pm but it wouldn't go through!

I was able to send one to him without a problem (included a link to your profile regarding your interest in it). I would try again by clicking the PM button under his avatar. If you are still having problems, I would contact 58mark, a moderator, and see what the problem is.Joshtj925 wrote:When I tried sending the message for some reason it said the user wasn't found

Bump for Wayne and this excellent tuba. I've played this horn on a visit to San Diego; it really plays great; easy response, even through the registers, nice breadth of tone with easier/clearer centering with the 1292 leadpipe. In great condition as well. BTW the leather Cronkhite bag looks cool and is very well padded and protective. This is a great horn and an excellent deal for the package.

IMO, an endorsement from Morris is a HUGE deal.
