Re: FB: Miraphone 186 BBb
Looks like a 186-4R with a Besson bell fitted to the tenon, and Conn (or whoever) guard wires but no guard plates. Lots of work and then massive buffing and plating over that. It's either a super player (to merit all that time and $$$$) or it's a pimped-out hag. I hope it's a player as it looks very nice. The comments seem to indicate it plays well.

I failed to notice that.
Yeah, pass. The wrong parts and that "work" tells me the plating is hiding a lot.

OTOH, those Brits would silver plate their own wankers.
