This is a Miraphone tuba from back when it was spelled Mirafone. About the early 1960’s. 4 clockwork rotory vales, no lacquer. Include with the tuba is a Soundwear Professional tuba case. This is the higher end case to the Soundwear Performer case. It is half way between a hard shell and a gig bag. . I am expecting that you will need to try it out. The Tuba is located north west of Chicago. I am willing to drive part way for you to try it. Feel free to contact me here on TubeNet or reply to the post. I will email you more contact information upon request.

Re: Miraphone Eb 4 value Tuba
I will be out of town for work until Friday night. If you want me to take some measurements I can do so when I get back. Just let me know what measurements you want and I will work on it over the weekend. I am well equipped with calipers, micrometers, depth micrometers and bore gauges.
