Russ,
I have a Miraphone 181 that I might think about trading with you. The horn I have is from 1985. It has 5 rotary valves all worked by the right hand. The bore size is .770 - .825. It has the capability to switch lead pipes and two are available. I have the flat whole step and major 3rd slides for the instrument. The major third slide has been professionally cut to improve intonation on the b natural and the notes below. The laquer has been removed from the bell for tonal purposes. The instrument has a hard case and an Altieri gig bag that would be included with it. If you are interested please give me some information about the MW45SLP. I'm a little concerned that the horn might be too big for my purposes. Let me know if you are at all interested in discussing this swap.
