Just curious to know if anyone is familiar with this model? Owner states 1960's vintage.
Thanks

Re: Mirafone 4283 single bass?
4283 is the serial number, not the model. The serial on my F-tuba is in the same loation.

They're a 72H copy. I've heard they're ok.

Interesting. Priced about the same as a 72H so I'll pass on it. Thanks for the info!

Re: Vintage Mirafone single bass?
Yes, imitation of a Conn 72H is the best description I can think of as well. i own a 72H and have played a few of the old Mirafones as well. The only difference I found in the instruments was that the Mirafone gets a little brighter on the loud end, while the 72H remains a little more consistent from soft through loud. Otherwise...many similarities.
