My only experience witgh the Miraphone contrabass trombone was that of being a very stuffy horn. It was not balanced well, and didn't produce a characteristic trombone sound.

To be fair, I was trying it with different mouthpieces, but I never got a good feel for a good sound as a trombone player picking up the horn.

The miraphone representative did tell me that the horn reacted better to the tuba type of player, (slower air and more relaxed embouchure). I just couldn't get it to play.
