Unfortunately I have come to the point where I no longer need this beautiful instrument in my life.
It's a Miraphone 188 CC 5 valve tuba and the horn plays as beautifully as she looks! No intonation issues, no weird playing idiosyncrasies. Really great all around horn. Can be played in a large orchestral setting as well as an intimate brass quintet and feel right at home.
I have owned it for the last 8 years and have taken good care of it. It has been professionally cleaned and serviced recently and regularly about once a year. There are some spots on the horn with a little lacquer wear from use, but nothing noticeable while you are playing. There are a few small dents from general wear and use and one ugly looking dent that resulted from checking my horn on a flight. I have included pics of the ugly blemish and I assure you 100% that it does NOT affect the sound or playing experience whatsoever. Copy and paste the following link into your web browser and you should be able to see the photos in high quality.

My asking price is $6000 which includes the horn, a custom miraphone gig bag and a MTS hard case. I am open to offers as well so feel free to send me a message.
