USED Miraphone 1291 5/4 BBb Tuba

Used Miraphone 1291 5/4 BBb tuba in excellent condition. Lacquer finish, 4 piston valves. There are few minor dings, dents, scratches and scuff marks, but nothing major. There is also a small acid bleed on the bell rim, and the evidence of some previous dent work to the bell. Just chem-cleaned and serviced in our shop, this adult owned, well maintained tuba is ready to play! Includes mouthpiece, case, and a gig bag. "The 1291 by Miraphone is superb for large ensembles and big stages. Major concert halls are no match for the efficient sound projection of this 5/4 size tuba. With its large bore the Bb tuba 1291 possesses an even and light response, even at a pianissimo dynamic, maintaining excellent intonation in all registers. Particularly in the lower range, the sound is extremely open and centered. The free-floating leadpipe supports the voluminous, clear and focused sound. The smooth and quick action of the piston valves allow for precision and perfect handling." Bell: 18.5" Bore: 0.835"
