Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBbBeautiful horn...
Good price 1650 NICE work Dan ![]()
Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBbThis would make a great budget horn for a high schooler or college student. Kind of wish I had this cheap of an option when I first started college.
Dvorak probably wrote the the fourteen notes in New World Symphony to get his tuba friends a gig.
Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBbApparently has a Chinese made bell on it.

Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBb
Huh?! Look at the patina. Probably original. Not all Miraphone tubas, especially early ones, had a krantz. "Bessophone" w/ 2-piece Imperial Blokepiece,

Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBb
The owner states in the ad, not sure you read it but it was a replacement bell. Upon email, the owner states it was a Chinese replacement. Maybe Dan can verify this or not. GEAR:

Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBb
$$$$$$$ Sometimes even the best tech can't salvage a busted up Mirabell that spent twenty years in a junior high. You wouldn't be paying $1650 for a 186 with a new Mirabell on it.
Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBb
Sure when cost is a factor, but keeping the horn close to original is a big factor for some buyers, especially when you put a non hand hammered bell onto something that is hand made. Would love to hear the story from Dan on this one. GEAR:

Re: SF Bay CL: Older Miraphone BBbDo you think the Chinese bell is still high quality? The clones coming out of China have been good as of late.
