Due to the fact that I'm switching to E-flat, I am selling my late 70's vintage Mirafone 186 BB-flat tuba which was rebuilt about 5 years ago by Dan Oberloh in Seattle. It's silver plated and has no dents or defects (well, maybe one or two tiny dings or imperfections in the silver). It's very free-blowing and mechanically excellent (like new). The valves are very tight and mechanically very smooth (I use that new fangled BiDek (sp?) oil on it which is excellent).

I asked the guys at Custom Music what it's worth and they indicated somewhere in the $4000 range. Thus, I'm pricing it at $3500 plus boxing and shipping (which will be handled by Custom Music -- I think they charge in the $125-$150 range). Included is a Mirafone soft case and Conn Helleberg mouthpiece, both in new condition.

I'm going to bring a digital camera home from work tonight and I'll be glad to E-mail some JPG's of it as soon as I've taken some.

Please E-mail me at BOTH of the following addresses if interested.....

Thanks!
