very small gig bags?

[Bob Kolada]

Are there any decent, not terribly expensive gig bags for a small tuba with a 14-15" bell and about 30" tall at the highest (small Conn/King/.... Eb)? I'm looking for such a tuba as a backup/jazz horn, and I'd like to have something beyond a Hefty bag for this one without spending a lot of money (especially as we're talking about a roughly $2-500 instrument here!)?



Thanks!

Hi Bob,
I've got a nearly new Altieri bag that I bought for my Dalyan Prague, but it's a little snug and I don't like carrying a rotor horn in a gig bag. Be happy to let you have it at a fair price.

Thanks guys! About offers, I don't even have the horn yet, so....

You could always go with a Cronkhite gig bag, they are custom made to your particular horn and are VERY well made. I just purchased one about a month back for my YFB-621 and I love it. They tend to be a little pricey (around $350, possibly more) but if you can afford to pay a little more they are, in my opinion, well worth it. Just my 2 cents

My main concern with a Cronkhite is that that is probably about how much the horn will cost. But we'll see! When I get the horn I'll probably try a 621F bag, and if it's not way too big I might look for a used one.
