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.

$1800, and sold now. It's near Austin, Texas.

Good luck with the sale! This looks like a great deal on a great instrument!

This sold quickly this time. I’m happy to see it go from a closet to someone who’s going to play it.

Now I just need to find someone who wants the adorable Scherzer CC the same way.
