I have a miraphone 188, and it's a splendid horn that I highly recommend to anyone I talk to.

However...

If you are in the market for a good horn, I'd keep your eyes on the new models that Conn is making, the 52j and 56j. The 56 makes a substantial amount of sound in the right hands, and handles very well. The 52 is one of the most amiable horns I've ever played, and would work well in middle-sized settings and even brass quintet. Both instruments are very similar, and behave very similarly. Even scale, even tone, and remarkably "pretty."

That's My two cents.
