I am a doctoral student in tuba at the University of Michigan. I read the reply from doubler and would back up everything he says.
I have a Mirafone 188 CC tuba for sale right now. It was my first horn and has served me well for 10 years. If you are looking at a CC, I think it is one of the better mid-line instruments available (better than most student horns). I am asking $4500, but this is probably more than a Yamaha would cost (I haven't looked to see what the person with the Meinl is asking). If you're interested, please respond.
Thanks,
Kevin
