Mirafones are fine-they were "it" in the 70s and early 80s-I remember the T.U.B.A. ads with photos of huge groups of Miraphone tuba players. They're not quite as "in" now but they're well designed tubas. We are all MUCH too concerned with equipment and of course the repair shops and instrument manufacturers play right into it. When I hear great players trying out different horns what I hear is 90% player-10% horn. In the case of the really great players the horn barely factors at all!

If you try a Mirafone and like it a lot use one; if not, don't. You'll always find plenty of people who'll "dog" just about anything.
