A few years ago, I was responsible for buying 4 Mirophone sousaphones for my Army band. What a horrible mistake that was. All four of these horns were the pits! They were unbalanced and top-heavy. The tuning was horrible! Any forth valve combination was severely out of tune. I tell you, I never lived it down with the other tuba players in my band. I was so happy when we replaced those things after five years with good ol' King sousaphones. Prior to this experience, I have always been a Miraphone fan, but I would think twice and then think twice again before I bought a Miraphone. Has anyone else had any success with Miraphone sousaphones?
