FS Miraphone 180 F Tuba *reduced*

Post by jstuba »

I am selling a Miraphone 180 F Tuba that I bought a several years ago from this same forum. The horn has been sitting in my house for about few years without being played so it is time to find a new home where it will get used more often.

The horn a very cool horn as you can see from the pictures in the below link and has been well taken care of over the years. The horn plays great but does have a little bit of a learning curve in some of the low range notes (which is not hard to overcome, especially considering the asking price). I am asking for $3600 plus the cost of shipping. The horn is located in Houston Texas and I am willing to do a fair amount of driving if you would like to play on the horn.

Here's is some additional information about the horn from its original owner (check it out, the horn has a very cool history):

Oh wow, I had wondered what happened to that horn. For a while, it was being sold and passed around on a (seemingly) yearly basis.

Where in Houston is the horn located? I live in the Richmond area and teach in Cy-Fair. I'd be very interested in testing out the horn!
