Re: Reverb: Miraphone 188

... I have played this tuba a bit the last few days..... I am not buying it, but not due to the condition or how it plays, just that my playing has drifted so that this is not the best option for me... I think it plays quite well, and is a typical example of the modern version of these. Great pitch ...

Re: like a rock

I've been looking at resale prices of European-made yorkophones. If someone's willing to face reality and admit that - over the last 3 years - the value of the US dollar has basically dropped by 50% (certainly on things that most people buy most all the time), that - combined with the fact that the ...

Re: Nirschl York for sale or trade

Not sure on the buttons - were on it when I got it.

Yes, have bought and sold too many great tubas!

I wish could keep this one. Really enjoyed how it sounded and felt playing it with extra/sub work with CSO at Ravinia and Grant Park this summer...

Nirschl York for sale or trade SOLD

Hi All I have a great Nirschl York that is about a year old. Has very even response and pitch. Frankly I love this tuba. My issue is that I have neck/shoulder/back problems and when they flare up (as they are now!) it does not work for me ergonomically. I am open to trade plus cash for a smaller cc ...
