Miraphone 187

Post by KingTuba1241X »

Ok still keep going back to one of these after mulling around. Miraphone 187, since I heard too much negative on the Meinl-Weston 25's (plus I prefer a shorter bell). If you have one and could sell it and willing to ship I am pretty much getting like a desperate child about it :smilie2: , I have cash and ready to buy it. We can speak privately and tell me what you want for it (not limited to but possibly including future unborn children and inheretances) :laugh:

You might find a used 187. You can certainly buy a new one.

At nearly double the price, sure. I'd rather make a healthy offer on a used one that's been broken in a bit.

William Klouse just posted a 187 on Facebook, in the Tuba/Euphonium Marketplace. I'm having trouble posting the link here, but go get 'er.
Good luck.

Then take a 2 day one-way trip!

It would be like driving from Minneapolis down almost to San Antonio Texas then back.

I've made that exact drive (in fact, starting 3 hrs North of MPLS) in 2 days each way. Tis a chore, but can be done.

I see 187s very infrequently for sale. Dillon had one a few months back, I think, but they don't seem to come up very often on most of the common public sites. The Kalison 2K and the 1291 I found recently are about as rare to see for sale used, so who knows, you might get lucky.

@russiantuba came within in 100 miles, and I took off work to meet him and have lunch with him. I'm sure glad I did! :thumbsup:

' seems to be on the same side of the Rockies (as well as a REAL 187) as the person who has expressed interest in having one.

Maybe the seller will now consider shipping. Or maybe a buyer will now consider driving their @$$ over there and fulfilling a dream. :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

Lord knows we've all done worse for less. :bugeyes:

I listen to red eye radio a lot more than I listen to coast to coast... But I did catch a lot of art bell reruns on the radio. They used to play them on the air here on weekend nights late. Was kind of fun to listen to. Actually when I first learned about art, I thought he was somebody else that have similar voice,.
