Alternate found ... Miraphone 291 Bruckner

Post by gocsick »

My son is starting university this coming fall and is looking for a Miraphone 291 Bruckner... putting out feelers here for him. Gold brass preferred but won't turn down yellow.

Willing to drive for pickup.. hopefully within a day travel of Ohio.

PM or email

Seller has zero (0) feedback and seems to be in a hurry. Just be careful.

It is listed in Denton, TX. Don't we know someone from around there? Perhaps UncleBeer knows of this tuba. Or perhaps not...

Have you contacted this guy? I saw his posts in at least 3 places and it’s not marked sold yet anywhere. Had been considering getting his 3J at one point so it stuck in my mind.

Wierd coincidence... he happened to be near NYC and was able to try out the PT6 that Blake mentioned the other day.
