The only difference between it and the VMI tuba that Orpheus had also started importing was the wrap of the fourth valve, unless it's me who is remembering wrong. It was very close to the same size as a standard 4/4 rotary BBb tuba--just like the Miraphone 186 that after overhaul seemed better. What's that, 41" tall? 42? Something like that. The 186 might have been a hair fatter, but not so's you'd notice without measuring.
