But I put my Miraphone C4 in there and started tooting. And was Instantly in love. Clean attacks. Ba||s! Great high range! No need to pull the first valve slide! A double tuba! Pedal Eb!!!!! Pedal notes in general! AAAAAHHH!

Because this is a *very* sweet tuba. I had Dan Oberloh make and install a full size receiver and it opened the horn up even more. An absolute joy to play.
Huh... I thought I left the large receiver on that puppy (I swapped it out about 8 years ago...).

scratching head...
Then I had a bit of a larger one put on. My JK Exclusive fits in there perfectly now.

I wanted to get a Bass Tuba and there was an Eb for sale on the forum. I bought it and never looked back!
