FS: Mirafone 182 small-ish BBb tuba

Post by greenbean »

Here is Mirafone 182 in great shape! Folks have described this model as a large 3/4, slender 4/4, or a 7/8 size tuba. Take your pick. This one is in ready-to-play shape. Valves and slides all work well. NICE playing horn. Original case is what used to be called a Jacob Winter case. ABS hard case with wheels, also in great shape. Bargain pricing at $3000 + shipping. It is a cool horn that I wish I needed, but I need to keep the peace here. Please help me.

The link requires me to join something. I am already logged on to Google, so this gives me pause as to what I am joining. Perhaps this is a permissions thing?

yeah, it's just a google photos page. It didn't require me to do anything, but Google already owns my soul

Great tuba and price by the way! Wish I was in the market

Can't see the photos...

This plus a Superfine bag and you'd be set for a very long time. I wish Bort Jr was either bigger or more interested in tuba (give him a break, he's 5!)... Oh hell, I'm just looking for an excuse for ME to buy it.

But like Tom, "keep the peace" is more important. :smilie8:

I don't know why this link doesn't work. Google Photos says it will allow anyone to see the photos.

Brett, I just emailed you an "invitation" to see them. And I can do the same with Elephant if I learn his email address.

Got it!

What a slick tuba, very cool! Looks like a perfect size for a younger or older player, or just for a smaller ensemble. I bet that thing is a hoot. Get it just in time for Oktoberfest!

If my wife wouldn't divorce me, I'd have bought it the day he posted it.
I'm currently at the rationalisation stage of "Well, 50% of marriages end in divorce anyway, so, hey..."

If memory serves, this is the predecessor to the 282 (redesigned the leadpipe entry). The 282 is a great tuba, and I've wanted one for years. If I didn't have a room full of tubas (and an empty tuba fund), I'd love to pick up this 182. If it is typical of the 182/282 line (they are usually very consistent), someone will get a winner at a very reasonable price.
