Hello All,

I have a question about the new Mirafone 188 I recently purchased.

The serial # is 9016 586. Could this instrument be a 186? I know in the past the serial # on these horns had nothing to do with model #’s but I am concerned. Do the serial #’s still have nothing to do with the model? The instrument does seem to have the wider throat and it does have the thinner bell garland like the 188 does.

The instrument was purchased brand new at one of the more well known and reputable tuba stores.

Any light that could be shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks All
