Hello everyone I’m selling a vintage Miraphone 5V F it would be what B&S would use to copy/make their PT10 model. The model number is 181. The linkages have been upgraded by another owner and the original ones will be included with the sale aswell as a gig bag. Sound is very even from top to bottom low register is above average for a rotary F tuba. In many respects it’s easier than most rotor F’s I’ve played. Pitch is very consistent aswell nothing wonky or weird besides the usual tendencies of these types of horns.
Location : Texas
Pictures are sent upon request.
I’m not interested in shipping the tuba unless the buyer pays for it and accepts full responsibility for it.
Price: 6k OBO
FS: Mirafone 181 5V F Tuba (SOLD)

I don't know enough to say who copied whom, but this particular tuba turns out to be as nice to play as the seller claims.

I remember (before they were shuttered, and Conn-Selmer bought a few models' tooling) Leblanc USA coming out with a "Holton" knock-off of a regular-everything Bach Stradivarius trumpet...
...and seem to recall stuff being claimed, such as "well...Frank Holton and Vincent Bach...blah-blah-blah...and so this design is actually a Frank Holton design that Vincent Bach adopted after they split up..." (or some such a yarn...)
