C equivalent to Miraphone Siegfried

Post by Billy M. »

I know the Miraphone Siegfried has been receiving very high praise for being a wonderful large Bb.

I'm curious, however, as to whether Miraphone had ever considered making a C equivalent of this horn like the way they made the Bruckner model as a C answer to the 191 Bb.

Thoughts?

I asked this question last time I was at the factory. In short they said they would look at it but have others projects to tackle first.

Were it me and I liked the BBb that much I would probably take it on its own terms. Often times that extra 2 feet of pipe that distinguishes the BBb from the CC is what gives it that awesome presence.
