Miraphone 187

[KingTuba1241X]

Ok still keep going back to one of these after mulling around. Miraphone 187, since I heard too much negative on the Meinl-Weston 25's (plus I prefer a shorter bell). If you have one and could sell it and willing to ship I am pretty much getting like a desperate child about it , I have cash and ready to buy it. We can speak privately and tell me what you want for it (not limited to but possibly including future unborn children and inheretances)

You might find a used 187. You can certainly buy a new one.

At nearly double the price, sure. I'd rather make a healthy offer on a used one that's been broken in a bit.

William Klouse just posted a 187 on Facebook, in the Tuba/Euphonium Marketplace. I'm having trouble posting the link here, but go get 'er.
Good luck.

Sounds like a Thanksgiving drive is in order - how badly do you want one?

Not a 4 day round trip drive, that's for sure

Then take a 2 day one-way trip!

It would be like driving from Minneapolis down almost to San Antonio Texas then back.

I've made that exact drive (in fact, starting 3 hrs North of MPLS) in 2 days each way. Tis a chore, but can be done.

And you didn't stop in to see me and say hello???

I see 187s very infrequently for sale. Dillon had one a few months back, I think, but they don't seem to come up very often on most of the common public sites. The Kalison 2K and the 1291 I found recently are about as rare to see for sale used, so who knows, you might get lucky.

Doc,
That was pre-tuba forum. Next time count on it!

No excuses anymore.

@russiantuba came within in 100 miles, and I took off work to meet him and have lunch with him. I'm sure glad I did!

' seems to be on the same side of the Rockies (as well as a REAL 187) as the person who has expressed interest in having one.

Maybe the seller will now consider shipping. Or maybe a buyer will now consider driving their @$$ over there and fulfilling a dream.

Lord knows we've all done worse for less.

Guess who use to keep me awake on nightshift and on the way home from gigs?

I listen to red eye radio a lot more than I listen to coast to coast... But I did catch a lot of art bell reruns on the radio. They used to play them on the air here on weekend nights late. Was kind of fun to listen to. Actually when I first learned about art, I thought he was somebody else that have similar voice,.
