Miraphone 283 Norwegian Star Eb Tuba - Repaired

Item Details

This is a new Miraphone rotary valve Eb tuba, model Norwegian Star.  Condition is new, unplayed, except it was damaged in shipping.  The bottom bow had a medium dent.  It's mostly repaired, but a small amount won't come out due to the stiffness of the nickel bow guard.  It's not a big deal.  The dent action caused the 4th rotor to be scratchy.  I'll have that repaired - it'll be silent and good as new action.  Available in September.
