Yeah, those are tall. Maybe even 43.5"...

Oooooooohhhhh… I like that black side-loader for a 186. I am distressed that I am partially unemployed right now or it would be mine. This should sell fairly soon, I think. Good luck, Tom.

But you can see it has many B&S features that you may recognize. This is a 4/4 tuba, very comparable to a Mirafone 186 in physical size and sound output ...

Here is Mirafone 182 in great shape! Folks have described this model as a large 3/4, slender 4/4, or a 7/8 size tuba. Take your pick. This one is in ready-to-play shape. Valves and slides all work well. NICE playing horn. Original case is what used to be called a Jacob Winter case. ABS hard case ...

I am selling a Mirafone 182. Only off by 2!...

Here is a great playing 4/4 size BBb tuba made during the 1990s by VMI (B&S). The horn has been serviced recently and all valves and slides work beautifully, and the horn had no significant dents or dings. This tuba is clean and ready to go. Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZT3uw77dhnvQLHW18 ...
