I'm looking to buy a Mirafone F or Eb tuba. My budget is around $2000. I am looking at the Mirafone 181-5V F tuba or 183-5V Eb tuba although probably the Mirafone 180-5V is the best option for my budget. If you've got one of these horns or know someone who does let me know! Thanks!

Here is an older Miraphone F for $1500. The ad is a little old, it might not still be for sale. Contact the seller and find out.

Richard, thanks for putting those links together for me. I have seen many of these as I have been looking. I've been keeping the Eb in the back of my mind as another option as I am doing some brass band playing right now. Mainly I want to use the horn to solo on while at school and also to use for some small ensemble work which is why the F is my first choice. I have also played one of the Mirafone 180s in the past and though it is small I liked how it played and it seems to be right in my price range.

FWIW, I bought a horn from Mike Allen about 5 months ago, and can say nothing but good things about the transaction. It's a busy time right now to buy/sell anything, so be patient during your search.quinterbourne wrote:Here is an older Miraphone F for $1500. The ad is a little old, it might not still be for sale.
