Will Sell or Trade - Mirafone F 180-5U. This is the older Mirafone
F tuba, small by today's standards! Five valves (DVS) in line,
good finish, few dents. No case however, but may use mine to ship.
This is probably not a good student "starter" F tuba, as
it is not as easy to blow, as the "new F tubas". I have owned
three of this particular model, using it for mainly for opera
(cimbasso) and ophecleide parts, and some solos. I have used it
for orchestra playing, as well as the high third part in a tuba
quartet, where it provides a nice bridge between the euphoniums
and CC tuba. Good presence on recordings. I have moved onto a MW 6 valve F.
