i was in the same situation as you in high school and played on the same equipment. this instrument in no way hindered my playing. once i went to college, i was able to attend conferences and play on as many tubas as i wanted in order to find the one i wanted. i then bought a meinl weston 2145 which wasn't big enough later and i lost some money when the price of those tubas went down. my advice.....tough it out on the miraphone. that's a good instrument and you will have a hard time finding a better new BBb tuba for less than $4000. when you get to college, go to conferences and play different horns for your teacher. he/she will help you in your choice. once you go to college you may be able to propose the tuba purchase the same way as you would a new computer for college(although the tuba is more expensive). it will then be an investment.......please do yourself a favor and wait on the purchase till college.
