It's time to try again to sell this because I'm still not playing it (C and F tubas for me, lately). It's a little sentimental, since it's the first tuba I bought and its serial number is the same as the number of the house I grew up in. But I only bought it 5 years ago, so it's not like a lifelong friend.
1965 Miraphone Bb 186 with original recording bell and a Yamaha straight bell. Two main tuning slides: the original and a new one that's a couple inches longer to go with the straight bell.
The dent at the bottom bow that shows in some pictures has been smoothed out, and so has the little dent in the lead pipe. I should take some fresh pictures for that, but haven't yet. There are various nicks and bumps elsewhere; seems pretty good for a tuba that survived public schools. All the small tubing is good, the slides are straight, and the valves are great -- smooth and fast. It's a good player that's ready to be used.
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
