Mirafone 186 - 4 1979 - Brass and silver for restoration

Here I have a Mirafone 186 rotary valve tuba. Based on the serial number of 11501 that places it as manufactured in 1979. Bell is 16 - 3/4 across. From Bell to bottom curve is 40 in. None of the valves are sticky, move nice and free. Obviously been sitting for many many years. We'll need a restoration but I'm sure it would probably actually play as it sits with a little maintenance and cleaning. I have tried to take as many pictures as possible to show you any flaws. Sold as is.

I offer free local pickup in Springfield, Illinois. Or shipping at purchasers expense.

I ran the calculator through what Reverb would have charged you for shipping. It was just short of $400. I've set my shipping at $299. I'm hoping that covers it. But not optimistic. Plus I'll be paying the fees no matter if I ship it through Reverb or my choice of either FedEx or UPS. I have found USPS to be totally unreliable in shipping.

Please ask questions before your purchase. Because again it is 100% sold as is. I am not a tuba player but have given the best description to my ability. Please click on the pictures and expand them.
