Mirafone
Hi-
I recently acquired a mid 70's Mirafone catalog for tuba & low brass, along with a supplement catalog for their odd ball brasses, with a price list. I have scanned it and had 'horn u copia' put it on their website, under Library. The moderator rearranged the pages, but everything is now on their site for all wishing to look at/research/gather info from that period of Mirafone.
Enjoy!

Re: Mirafone
Odd that there does not seem to be a price page for the tubas (that, or it's out of order, and/or I am blind)

Re: Mirafone
Thanks Mark! 
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Mirafone
I have a tuba price list from the 80s, too. Bought the catalog off eBay over the summer, and the seller sent me a whole folder full of stuff. I'll have to check it out soon and post some pics for you all.

Re: Mirafone
Mirafone isn't their only catalog entry, by far. Some of them link to other sources. There should be something there for anyone.
