FS: Mirafone 182 small-ish BBb tuba

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

Really neat horn for a smaller player, haven’t seen that one before.

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 I didn't already own a Packer 379b for teaching lessons on, I would be snatching this up

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.
