Re: 1963 Miraphone 186 advice
Are we sure this is a 186?... The backside of the horn does not like the 186's from the 60s and 70s that I have owned. But maybe they changed the wrap. I just double-checked photos of these horns. Nope - not the same 4th valve wrap. Thanks for noticing and pointing that out. Would "186" or ...

Re: 1963 Miraphone 186 advice
Considering the condition and what looks to be a decent bag, if the seller started off around $2,000, I’d be pretty suspicious. If I owned this and the rotors were in decent shape compression-wise, I’d be starting around $3,500 as initial point of departure for negotiations. Yep. I agree, his sta ...

Re: 1963 Miraphone 186 advice
Sounds like a suspicious posting... can I ask what the price is? (Or just a ballpark... not sure what a "good price" is to you). I can't say it IS a scam, but that tuba looks pretty nice, and people don't usually end up with tubas and no other information. The early 186's (all of them, really) are ...

1963 Miraphone 186 advice
I’ve been looking for one locally (NC) and haven’t been able to find a used Miraphone 186 bbb for a decent price. I found one online but the seller doesn’t know anything about it, doesn’t have a written description in his post, and just has pictures. It’s serial number is 2259 which per Google would ...
