Re: LA CL: 186 BBb
Okay Hear me out, especially to all the techs on this forum. What if you bought this and a jinbao 186 clone. You cut the Miraphone rotors to CC and put together what fits? Miraphone 186 5U for -2,500?

Re: LA CL: 186 BBb
The bell on this Miraphone has a pretty decent crack/tear/hole in it...
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: LA CL: 186 BBb
I am sort of doing this right now. I have a 1971 BBb I have cut to CC, and I have rescued the destroyed bell and outer branches in the process. PM me if you want to chat about it, or post here. That's just as good.
Re: LA CL: 186 BBb
Really, really well, too.
To LargeTuba: Dan Schultz also does rescues of trashed 186s using replacement bells from clones.
