You're in luck! Miraphone released a new model a few months ago called the 191. I think this is the 4-rotary valve model number, but this tuba is made with 5 rotary valves. I haven't played the five valve version yet, but have played on the 4 valve one and was amazed that it was ACTUALLY a Miraphone! And the best part, it sells for under $5000 with a silver finish, available from The Brasswind: (502) 348-5003. Give Charlie Krauss a call; he owns one and loves it to death, and I don't blame him.
Another model you may consider is the VMI 3301 or 3302. These are piston models, I believe, with the 3302 having 4 piston/1 rotary valve. Hope this helps!
