20 inch bell, 38.5 inches tall, bore is .800 on first 3 and .840 on 4th.
It is fat and taller than the 191 which is 36 inches tall and 19 inh bell.
They have a Miraphone 289 that is more ergonomic and has a shorter bell more like the 191 now. I played it at Mid West and it is better than the 189 but I still like the 191 and 1291 piston better.
I'll bet this is probably a stolen tuba and they do not know what they have.
