Miraphone Help.

[grahamroese]

Hi, this is my first thread on this forum.
I have been a proud owner of a Miraphone 1291 for about a year-and-a-half now, and I have been pleased with its performance and cosmetics.
When I purchased the horn, I was also given a replacement 4th-valve loop because of water-spotting that had occurred. This extra piece of hardware looked like it had been shipped directly from the factory, which led me to wonder:

1. If other parts of my Miraphone had similar cosmetic defects, how would I get in contact with the company about obtaining a new part?
2. Is there any way that I would be able to actually buy replacement parts for this horn? I'm referring to basic parts of hardware, not anything like a bell, pipe, or valve.

If anyone has any help for me, or would like to share an experience with Miraphone service, it would be greatly appreciated.
I am eager to hear your responses, and to restore my tuba so that it may look as good as it has sounded for me.

Thank you very much, Eric!
I will post the results of this as soon as possible.

I have always purchased spare Miraphone parts from Badger State Repair, but never for the newer models. Miraphone parts are, however, obtainable (and likely to fit) to a greater extent than most models.
