Hi everyone,
I am helping Venezuelan tubist Pedro Vasquez sell both his F and C tubas (I'll make another post about his F shortly!). He is also selling it with the case pictured! I do not know much about the horns he has for sale, but if you like more information or are interested, please feel free to email me at lcd57@miami.edu" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank (or, if you feel that your Spanish is up to speed, shoot Pedro a text or call at 786-304-0853!). We are both based out of Miami just as an fyi!

Those are the short-lived Presto linkages. The idea is that you can individually adjust the tension of each valve. I don't think it wa s the greatest ideal Miraphone ever had... but, you can replace the linkages with the new (and IMO better) style.
Early to mid 90s. Rare to see one in silver!

by the way this is a great instrument, I've seem Pedro play it and sounds great on it, also he is very good at taking care of his instruments so I think besides the dents that you get by using the horn for MANY years this instrument is probably internally working better than many others.
