SOLD: 1965 Mirafone 186 4 valve CC

Post by jimgray »

Hi all-

I am selling an excellent example of a prime vintage (1965) 4-valve Mirafone 186 CC; it's in excellent condition and has great intonation/response. This horn comes with a new Cronkite bag and is located just south of Boston. I've used this horn in numerous live situations and recordings. It has that classic warm sound, projects very well, and blends beautifully. Very nimble 3/4 German CC.

Serial number is #3012 and my asking price is $5,000 (not looking for any trades). Please let me know of any questions.

thanks-
Jim

Nice horn! I owned one from about a decade later. I loved it. Not to pick nits, but I would put the 186 squarely in the 4/4 category. A 184 might be considered a 3/4. Good luck with the sale!

Those are great horns. I have the same model with serial number 3536 - probably made right around the same time.
