Yamaha Miyashiro For Sale $2000 + Shipping And Insurance
-
This Yamaha Miyashiro (Bb) in raw yellow brass, is in excellent condition and features a brand new OE Yamaha lead pipe that was installed by Yamaha Technicians at their repair facility. I've owned the horn for 2 years, and bought it from the original owner who bought it and a silver plated horn at the same time. That owner kept the silver horn and I bought this horn from him.
The horn has limited hours of playing on it, has been treated exceptionally carefully and is almost perfect. There is a tiny ping on the bell that's so hard to see you have to look for it. I can't even get a picture of it.
The original lead pipe got red rot in it and Yamaha replaced it under warranty. At that time I asked if they would be willing to strip the lacquer, which they did. You can either polish it or let it continue to gain patina. The last photo is of it upon return from Yamaha, and the rest are of it in its current appearance. It comes with the Miyahshiro case (virutally unused and in perfect condition) and Eric's mouthpiece.
This is an outstanding horn in just about every aspect. It's efficient, resonant, and I can get decent dark, round, notes out of it with the right approach, and yet it can be made shimmery and bright in the upper register with a different approach and mouthpiece.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or send additional photos.

$2000 +shipping and insurance anywhere in the COTUS.I think you mean CONUS. COTUS is a little too close to, well, you know . . .
I am strictly a tire kicker, so if you don't respond, no problem. But . . is that a single case? I don't believe I can find such a case.

Hey brother,
Thanks for your editorial assistance!
It's a case that Eric wanted for his horn, and only available with his horn. I don't even know if Yamaha will sell them separately. You're supposed to be able to carry a flugelhorn and trumpet in it. I tried it once and didn't dig. I never used it because I have a Cronkite triple trumpet that I carry my flugel and trumpet in.

Yeah, I used a Gard flugelhorn and trumpet gig bag. Wouldn't want to fly with it but for local gigs it worked just fine.
Thanks for the info.
