We went around the bush recently about size differences in the Mirafone line (specifically the 190), and it was suggested by the inestimable Mr. Richard Denney that a photographic size comparison might help clarify things a bit. To that end, I Iined up the horns in our community band and shot off some pixx.

I used to think the 188 was a good-sized horn, now I'm not so sure! The über-tüber on the end is Tommy Johnson's old 190, which I recently had the good fortune to acquire. If anyone's interested in hearing it, check out E.T. (recent re-release), the Last Starfighter, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, to name a few. Awesome sound!! If you'd like to swing by for a honk, I live in Southern California, and would be happy to let you take 'er out for a test drive.

I'd like to include a comparison chart of specs on each horn. If anyone out there has that information (Klaus???), please forward it to me and I'll post it on the page.
