Mirafone Model 187 BBb Tuba – 4 Rotary Valves
Serial Number: 9000880
 
This classic Mirafone 187 is a standout among rotary tubas. Built with the same core design as the highly respected 186, the 187 features a larger bell, delivering a broader, darker, and more mellow sound—ideal for ensemble work and players seeking a warm, rich tone.
 
With four smooth rotary valves, this BBb tuba is known for its excellent intonation and projection. It’s approximately 30 years old and has been exceptionally maintained, having belonged to a professional brass repair technician. The result is an instrument that plays beautifully and is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition for its age.
