Uh...what? Sure...unless it's raw brass, then there really aren't any reflections.

Yes. Especially when I carefully polish my bell.

Definitely not me and not likely a Miraphone.

Yes, I see myself in a Miraphone very soon. As a matter of fact, it should be on its way here from Germany any day now!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I was going to caption it "An instrument for conductors and viola players" but then I was distracted...tbn.al wrote:You beat me to it, but I was going to add the caption, "No, but I can hear myself in one."windshieldbug wrote:

Re: Can you see yourself in a Miraphone?
Nothing was deleted from my side. That photo is related to a fairly well known truck driver of this forum, and it is about seeing somebody in some brand of brass. The words are just truisms.the elephant wrote:What did I miss, here? Did something get deleted?jmerring wrote:Imperialbari; just what is your problem with Miraphone?

Wade,
It is my guess that said person did not get Klaus' brand of humor, and took him to be uttering tubal blasphemy.
Myself, I enjoyed Klaus' post. Keep 'em coming, Klaus!

I apologize for my misunderstanding of Klaus' post. I DID think he was dumping on Miraphone. Reading it again, I now understand

No worries. You came back and cleaned up your mess. Have another beer. And, maybe, another fried egg sandwich. On the house...jmerring wrote:I apologize for my misunderstanding of Klaus' post. I DID think he was dumping on Miraphone. Reading it again, I now understand![]()

Isn't it spelled with an "f": on tubas? MIRAFONE, not "ph"

Miraphone appears like the spelling used always but for the instruments imported by a previous US importer located in California.

Re: Can you see yourself in a Miraphone?
This Conn is a little cramped. I hope to branch out into more valves, soon.
