I waited a long time for one of these. I am not able to get a horn now without selling one first. Should that happen, I would like to try this one.

Thanks Dan for placing the ad for me on tubenet.

I am selling my Miraphone CC Tuba, it is a 186 circa 1961-1962 horn, raw brass with nice natural patina, has clockwork springs, 4 rotary valves that work well without any issues. The horn has been fine tuned by Tom Treese, a friend of mine here in Orlando Florida. Bob Carpenter from the Orlando Philharmonic has tried the horn and really enjoyed playing it, as well as others in the central Florida area. I am selling it as I don't play CC that much any longer.

I'm asking 3000.00 for it, I've purchased a Miraphone gig bag (blue in color) 495.00 which I am including as part of the deal. Not adding the cost of the bag as part of the price.

I live in Indialantic, Fl. My contact email is drw195809@gmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank

Will send pictures upon request as file of photo is to large to include in this posting
