Mirafone 184-5U CC, 5-valve; Serial #8,xxx. I’ll guess it was built mid 1970’s. Jim Self originally owned this instrument. It has a second lead pipe and comes with the stock Mirafone (oblong-shaped) hard case. The instrument is in very good condition; there are some dents along the bottom bow that do NOT affect its playability. It plays like the typical 184 (I’ve owned several myself). Originally, it had the 5th valve operated on the left side, but was converted to right hand operation some time ago. I just invested $490 in a clean-up and valve linkage update, done by Dick Ackright in Oakland. I want $4500 for the instrument, buyer pays shipping. I would be able to pick you up at the San Jose (CA) airport for you to come here and play the tuba, but I am not interested in shipping it all over the country. Tony Clements.
