FT: Eastman 832 4/4 CC for Miraphone 188

Post by arpthark »

I really, really like my Eastman 832, but after playing an old friend's 188 for the first time in about 10 years, I also really-really like that model tuba, slightly prefer Miraphone rotors, and would consider a straight trade.

I bought this tuba new from Dillon's in August 2022. The tuba is lacquered. I've had extra water keys added for drainage on the 3rd and 4th valve slide. I had a slight crease rolled out of the bell from when a bandmate stepped on the edge. All work has been performed by Dick Hansen out of Brimfield, MA. There are a few small indentations on one of the branches, and some belt buckle scratches on the bottom bow. Comes with the Eastman hard case if you want it. Valves and slides are like butter, vented, and the intonation is exceptional.

I am not interested in selling outright or trading for anything except a Miraphone 188, and I am only interested in a straight trade. I will not consider shipping but can meet you in the New England/NYC metro area for a play test. I am in no rush to make this trade.

PM me or email beanhillbrass at gmail.

Thanks!

The above pic is before the extra water keys were added.

Here it is on the left with a YFB-621 copy. The angle is a bit distorted, but it shows the water keys added.

Really wish we could meet half way. I have a 188 I would consider trading for the 832. I live in Memphis Tennessee.

I am planning a trip down south at some point between now and next spring -- if you're not in a rush, shoot me an email at beanhillbrass at gmail if you want to try to set something up.
