Miniball vs Uniball linkage

[The Tuba Fish]

Is miniball linkage the same as uniball linkage?

[The Tuba Fish]

So is the Uniball brand a miniball type system?

You can get them less expensively at a hobby store, especially one that carries remote controlled model vehicles, than you can from Miraphone.

Mini ball is a type. Uniball is a brand name.

Huh.

I always thought that the minibal links were the little tiny metal ones and the uniball links were the larger ones as used on Meinl Weston and B&S tubas these days.

Good to know, I guess
