Traditional Brass Music continues to be a popular cultural element in these modern times. Whether it be folk styles, sonorous British style Brass Bands, lush Wind Band, Orchestral, or ensemble brass styles, the tradition remains strong. The Miraphone company plays a major part in this tradition. Founded in 1946, Miraphone is now located in Waldkraiburg, Germany, about an hour and a half east of Munich. Over the last 50 years, Miraphone has developed a reputation for producing elegantly handcrafted trumpets, fluegel horns, tenor horns and baritones, trombones, and, of course, tubas made of high-quality materials that guarantee instruments that perform easily with pure intonation and a full, rich sound. Miraphone instruments are the fusion of tradition, handcrafting and technology. Hobby players, amateurs and professional musicians alike are convinced of the superb quality of Miraphone products.
