The 70's Miraphones are excellent tubas. I wouldn't really say that the linkage change was to fix a design flaw, but it was a major improvement over the old "s-linkage" that although "bullet proof" get really loud and loose. Miraphone has used several different types of linkages since the 70's with the most current uni-ball type linkage being the best. If it were my horn, I would have the linkage changed over to the uni-ball style.

I believe that Rick did this on his old Miraphone. If not, I know he owns a Miraphone of similar vintage and could explain some things to you.
