Slide layout for 3 and 4 isn't consistent with Miraphone, to my eye.

Paging @TheBerlinerTuba?

What kind of professor, now?

I think the gamers should try to play the music and the musicians should try to beat the games and see which group wins first.

You're right, it is an F natural. I just looked at the score. Bad editing, IMO. The tuba part could just double the second basson and drop the octave at the A instead of going back up. It's not as if other parts of this excerpt aren't especially athletic. https://i.imgur.com/X8vqQlW.png Also I ...

Thanks, yes, I think it's an A-F# that are an octave too high. Been quite a while since I've looked at it. You answered my question.

The slide itself, or the entire valve circuit?

Do youse guys who actually play this excerpt play that one F# (that seems like it should be down an octave) down an octave from written, or as written? This is something that I used to practice to play loud, and to play low. My issue was always sustaining a solid f/ff volume throughout and not ...

I met with this seller today and gave them an honest opinion. It's a 1964 Miraphone 186 BBb. Besides being spray painted gold, it is in very nice shape. Bell has never been rolled out(!), slides all move, valves all move, slide pulling demonstrates good valve compression, just needs some new ...

I'd be interested. Looking for a good fit for the Piggy. Waffling around a bit between Symphony, Orch Grand (with and without cup extenders), PT-50/88, and some other stuff. The 88 has about the kind of sound I like but it's too hard to steer and I don't like the rim as much as the blokepiece #2. I ...

My teacher in college actually adapted this excerpt to be a low range exercise, transposing the opening lick down to Eb and then down to D.

I'm a fairly short guy with an even shorter torso (5'6" on a good day, and most of that is my legs). I do have long-ish arms, but the Thor was just too big for me, ergonomically. My old PT-6 (similar size instrument) didn't have as many physical barriers, for me. If the Thor had a lower mouthpipe ...

Yeah. I had a 3/4 Rudi at the same time I had a Miraphone 186, and there was a lot of overlap. The Miraphone was maybe 5% larger. The Rudi was really nice, but in comparing them, I ultimately stuck with the one with better intonation (186) even though I liked the Rudi sound better. Great horn. I'd ...

Asking price is definitely a bit high… Making an offer looks to be possible. I’ve owned a bunch of former service band instruments. On occasion, they arrived with some odd, disabling “adjustments.” Nothing that couldn’t be easily undone. I’ve heard from former members that replacement criteria varie ...
