Midwest

Post by phaymore »

Did anyone attend Midwest and have any pics or impressions from the exhibits? I always love hearing about horns that were tried.

If so, I agree... it looks like hell.

I played a number of wonderful tubas at Midwest, but for me the star of the show was the Miraphone F tuba model 181 "Belcanto". This horn has it all: beautiful resonant sound, great pitch, and an evenness throughout all registers. If there is a better F out there, I sure haven't played it.
