Frequently Asked Questions
The 1258A has a slightly darker, more focused tone compared to the 1250, with increased projection due to the larger bell and lead pipe design.
While it provides excellent compensation, the added valve can be a bit more complex to manage initially, but it allows for smoother transitions and extended range.
With consistent maintenance and care, a Miraphone 1258A can easily last for decades and maintain its value, becoming a cherished heirloom instrument.
