Using patterns from pre-war German and Czech (Czechoslovakian) tubas, the company began in Bavaria in 1946. This was the time when Tommy Johnson (1934-2006) began playing for many cartoons and television shows in Hollywood. So working with the Lockie Brothers (which distributed foreign musical instruments), Tommy became the company spokesman and was featured in a few of the magazine ads. The spelling of Miraphone was changed to Mirafone for the American market. Then the outlet was sold to a Netherlands percussion company and moved to suburban San Antonio, Texas. A few years later, Miraphone stopped with the idea of having a warehouse in the United States and did all its work from Waldkraiburg, Germany.

Bill Reply Delete Replies Reply gnome-honey Monday, July 22, 2019 Miraphone is the German company that manufactures. In the 1950s it entered into a distribution contract in the United States. Lockie was also involved in a company called Rico Reeds with the principal being Roy J. Maier. The old addresses shown for Mirafone include one in the Sun Valley neighborhood of L.A. That was the Roy J. Maier Corporation. Music Trades for 1975 lists the Mirafone Corporation as importing Miraphone tubas, French horns, Deskant horns, fluegelhorns, baritone horns, euphoniums, bass trumpets, contraaltos, tubens, bass and tenor trombones, contra bass trombones, oboes, English horns, bassoons, and contra bassoons. Howard J. Lockie headed the firm at the time. It is likely that Mirafone didnt import all of these items at the time and some of it was overstated. Lockie and Maier had already been involved in growing reed cane in the U.S. If you dont tell musicians the facts, they often make up a really good story that is better than reality. Any paid advertising you see on this page was not put her by Bill.
