The Miraphone Model 82 is a professional rotary-valve tuba, highly respected for its powerful projection, rich tonal core, and excellent intonation. Widely used in orchestral, brass band, and ensemble settings, this model delivers a deep, focused sound with clarity and stability throughout the range.
Finished in raw brass, this tuba offers a more open and resonant response, favored by many professional players for its organic feel and lively vibration. Over time, the raw brass develops a natural patina, giving each instrument a unique character.
This used instrument is in very good playing condition. The rotary valves operate smoothly and quietly, tuning slides function properly, and the tuba has been professionally inspected to ensure reliable performance. Cosmetic wear and natural oxidation are present, consistent with raw brass and normal use, but they do not affect sound or playability.
