I have played on a couple of fairly old Miraphone 4 valved Sousaphones and would say that they are not my first choice. They require lotsa alternate fingerings to play in tune and the projection on them is not as good as say a Yamaha Sousaphone. The problem with the neck brace falling off is real and the parts from other manufacturers aren't always interchangable.

On top of all this, the Miraphone's are among the most expensive of the Sousaphones. If you must play on them regularly, I would recommend trying out a few other brands also, like King and Conn or even Yamaha.
