The one I tried was yellow brass. No doubt, at least to my ears that gold brass warms the sound.alvrz1908 wrote:You horns are absolutely beautiful... I personally want a gold brass Miraphone 188... is that the one you tried out or was it a yellow miraphone?

Re: My new babies!
[quote="Neptune"]I have for some time rather fancied having a gold brass tuba, so when last year I got a nice long service award for 25 years with my company, I thought instead of buying something useless like a clock, or putting the money in the bank, I would treat myself to a gold brass tuba. After discussing with Mark Carter at Mr.Tuba, we agreed a good deal for my existing standard yellow brass Melton 2040/5 EEb to be exchanged for a custom hand built gold brass version.
