Product Description
Miraphone
This tuba has been one of the favorite of bands, orchestras and individuals for over 50 years. This is like the Pro 186 except the taper on the conical section grows faster and is larger and it gives it a bigger fuller and darker sound, more like a Kaiser tuba. Now with improved linkage and intonation, it is one of the best still. Heavier brass and valves make it one of the best tubas on the market for the money invested. Miraphone, quality throughout the line of instruments.
Product Overview and Specifications
The Miraphone 188 5 Valve Professional CC Tuba

The Classic 186 - ON STEROIDS
Miraphone took the best - and made it better. With the introduction of the 188 series Miraphone expanded on their already successful formula and improved the bell tapers and the valve action to get a little more sound out of the horn. They succeeded. This horn has a terrific sound and a beautiful color as well. At home in the orchestra, band or as a solo instrument, you will love the sound and feel of this horn.

I bought this tuba around two months ago and I absolutely love it. When they say, "the 186 on steroids" they mean it! The bell and bottom bow size is what gives this tuba its character, and it has character to spare! The sound of this horn stands out because it can blend with a small ensemble or full orchestra. The 188 is an amazing all around horn and is sure to pay itself off. The 188 offers more then enough to justify the price. Sure, the 186 is cheaper but it's just not at quite the same level as the 188. I highly recommend this Tuba.
