Hello.
I was looking through the Brasswind catalogue and I found the Mirafone 189-4V BBb. A few questions about this horn:
1)It has the large valve bore that I like (.800-.840), but does anyone know how it sounds?
2) Has anyone ever played one? If so, what is your opinion?
3) What are the advantages/disadvantages of the slanted valves?
4) The picture shows a tuba with 5 valves. Does Mirafone make a model of this tuba with 5 valves?
Thanks!
Doug
