It took me a solid 10 seconds before I realized what was wrong with that picture. I have a Miraphone pin floating around somewhere. Now I'm wondering if it was "tubularly inverted."

I had several of these as lapel pins in the 80s. None were this "left hand version" :huh:

I wonder what key it plays in?

I wrote to the seller:

I hate to say it but the valve tubing (all of the small tubing), is upside down

Her reply:

So weird. None of the tubas I have in stock have it upside down. I must have photographed the one that was put together wrong. I have changed out the photos. Thanks for the heads up.
I've been selling these for 25 years online and no one caught it

That's actually a Jb-410, so it's as it should be.
