I have a MW 5V CC tuba, and on the outside of one of the valve cases is etched "C5-170".
The bell says "Meinl Weston A Division of Getzen".
This is the same bore and roughly the same size and shape as a Miraphone 186 (though its heavier, and thus a darker sound).
What do I call this? I'm looking to sell it, as I'm upgrading to the next range of horns.
Thanks,
Francis
