What is a Miraphone 186-S tuba?
What is the "S" for anyway?
A lower priced student range of tuba?


Ok, I guess that Miraphone is making this tuba now called a Miraphone 186-S.
I have no clue what these are and how they differ from a regular Miraphone 186.

Let me give you some background info...apparently Miraphone has two different lines of horns, a "S" series and a "Pro" series. I need to know more about the so-called student or "S" line of horns (I have been told that the "S" represents student).

1. Is it a BBb or CC tuba?
2. What is the difference between an "S" model and a regualar or "pro" model
3. How much do they cost
4. Where can they be purchased
5. Is the regular Miraphone 186 tuba a BBb or a CC tuba?
6. Price/Availability of a regular Miraphone 186.

Any info on any of the apparent "S" (student) series tubas would be nice.

Also, where can I get Miraphone info online?

Thanks
