I received a Glenn Cronkhite Case about two hours ago, for my M-W 182 F tuba. Glenn was able to construct a really well fitting case with just the measurements we made and a conversation over the phone. He never saw anything of the tuba except a couple of pictures I had posted here. I know there were a couple of you who wanted to have a Glenn case for your 182s so Glenn now has a pattern and can easily make a case for you. The workmanship is superb as it is with my other Glenn Case and he did the work, from making the new pattern to the shipping, in about 3 weeks. Here are pictures of the case with the 182 both closed and open.

Yes, they are the same cost as other Glenn Cronkhite bags. I assume that the sewing is the same or, maybe a touch more difficult than the larger cases. But the pattern exists and they can be made as regular production. His site is at: http://www.glenncronkhite.com/index.html
Always make a good sound; audiences will forget if you miss a note but making a good sound will get you the next job.
