I bought a Miraphone 188 a couple of years ago, but have not seen another one like it sence. I was hoping some-one might recognise the add-ons.

I can find NO serial number or model number. It is laquer with the standard inch thick silver bell rim. The valve paddles have straight sides, once again typical 188, but the valves have separate adjustable return springs to change the tention of each valve via a thumb screw.all the rotors have covers so the mechanism cannot be seen.

The fifth valve slide has a thumb trigger
