Looking for my old Mirafone 188
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2024 7:55 am
I’m trying to track down a Mirafone 188 I bought new in 1985 from Mirafone when they were in SoCal (hence the spelling with an “f”). I sold it to Ken Sturgeon in the early 90s, and he sold it on consignment at Dillon Music about 20 years ago.
Particulars:
— Yellow brass with nickel-silver tuning slides.
— 5th valve tuning slide kicker.
— 1st valve tuning slide double-action spring tuner.
— 5th valve mechanism connecting rod had been replaced with a solid rod.
— Serial number might be something like 130XX, but my memory’s a little fuzzy on that.
— Slight crease marks in the bell lacquer from a repair.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Thanx…
