This Mirafone is on eBay.  The listing says similar to Conn 72H and appearance wise, that's true.

Does anyone have any experience with a Mirafone single trigger bass?

Here's the link:

That horn is gone, but another Mirafone bass bone is on eBay that actually looks a bit better.  I know of Mirafone's reputation for tubas and euphoniums, but I really don't know how their bass bones compare.  Appearance-wise it does look like the Conn 72H.  A single trigger bass is what I would like to have some day and vintage Conns in good shaper are becoming rarer and more expensive. 

Perhaps the Mirafone would be comparable to a Yamaha 321 bass which seems to be a "poor man's" vintage Conn.


Here's the 2nd link:
