SOLD: Mirafone 183 Eb Tuba - recent service, early model

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm selling the Miraphone 183 I purchased here recently (see this thread for full discussion about some of the interesting things about this tuba: viewtopic.php?t=4261). It was recently chem cleaned and the valves and slides are in great shape. There are small dings and scratches throughout but no major dents or evidence or prior major repairs.

As discussed on the prior for sale thread, this one appears to be an early model with a slightly smaller bore size, and has a smaller than expected mouthpiece shank size. The prior seller included a Euphonium mouthpiece that fits perfectly that I will include, and I've spoken with Doug Elliott and he can easily make a mouthpiece shank that will fit this horn if you'd like to go that route (and I'm sure there are others out there).

I'm just looking to recover my costs so I'm pricing this at $1325, and can ship to the continental US for $125 (so $1450 including shipping). It will ship via UPS in two well padded boxes (one for the body and one for the bell). If you're willing and able to pick it up in the Denver area, even better! Paypal or Venmo is fine as long as we go the F&F route or you cover fees.

Thanks!

What's the bore size? Trying to Figure out if the valve on my current Frankentuba will fit that

Hi Mark, I measured and it’s 17mm, just a touch smaller than the 18mm of the later 183s.

It wasn't me. And I agree, thank goodness 1) I'm not tempted anymore and 2) @gnimoyw closed the sale. ¡Felicidades!
