Remember those little Miraphone mouthpiece fob things? I have one on each of my zipper pull tabs on my Miraphone case. I got a bag of 6 of them on Ebay.
Did your 496 come in the standard German 443 Hz tuning? I have read that some folks have had Miraphone build horns with extra length at the tuning slide to accommodate the American 440 Hz standard. If your horn is 443 Hz, do you have any trouble adjusting to be in tune with the stateside ensembles you play with? I guess I’m wondering if its necessary or worthwhile to go to the trouble of getting a custom 440 Hz spec horn built for use in north america.
The 496 came with two tuning slides. I naturally play low and pretty open (I guess I have a big mouth 🤣), so I use the short slide. The other slide (440) is generous and should work just fine in stateside ensembles.
Beautiful instrument ❤
And very well made.

Wayne Wiley My wife has one on her key chain. I can’t find any of mine, but I might have to get some and steal your idea!
I love a challenge!!
