SOLD Miraphone 186 4v B-flat $1500

Post by tubalex »

This instrument has been sold.









I bought this on eBay and had it worked up into playing condition. Bell has been patched and rolled out, water key fixed, several joints soldered. If I were going to keep this tuba I'd eventually have the leadpipe replaced and the outer bows smoothed up and cleaned up, but it's been a terrific at-home-warm-up tuba this semester so I could leave my C tuba at work.

There is a very beat-up wooden case included. The bell is pretty fragile after the repairs so I'd prefer not to ship.
