SOLD - Miraphone 188 5 valve CC tuba

Post by Roger Lewis »

Great Miraphone 188 5 valve CC tuba!! Horn was made in 1997, but this horn probably doesn't even have 30 hours of playing on it. It even has the FACTORY CORK SET-UP ON IT! (I will change these out before shipping). Plays great, has a great sound, excellent response and intonation. The Right hand 5th valve is set-up in West Coast Style - major 3rd instead of a flat whole step. This horn has a few minor scratches and a very slight ding in the bell - otherwise this horn is perfect. New, these sell for almost $7,000. This horn comes with a brand new Miraphone gig bag.

Going for $5,500. PM Me if interested. Photos here.

That would be, Formerly Tuba Specialist, etc....

We are all formerly something. I am formerly a lot of things. Fortunately, I am finding that to be formerly something doesn't mean that you can't be that again. Maybe sooner than you think. Best wishes to you, Roger. Thanks for the props when I needed them.

If this is too philisophical, just kick me into the next forum.
