Tuba Gig bag... sort of...

Post by dmgsutton »

Hello all,
A while back, I saw a tubist who had this cool little wrap on his tuba that had backpack style straps. It was made of similar material as a gig back, but was about half as thick, and only wrapped around the valve/slide section of the tuba. The rest of the tuba was visible. I have also seen a few euphonium players with them.
I was wondering if anyone knows what these are called. Please comment if you know what I am talking about, because I would really like to know. :tuba:

You didn't say what it was used for? Was this for carrying the instrument, like with handles too?

I had backpack style straps, but I don't think it had other handles, as well.

This isn't it. It didn't cover the bow, just the mid-section of the tuba/euph.

I didn't think that was what you were talking about. I'm guessing it was sort of a wrap to go around the
body of the horn with handles for carrying? I've seen similar things for carrying firewood. I would be very
interested in something like this for transporting my tuba from car to stage for outdoor gigs. Not really needing
to have the horn in a case or a gig bag............just some handles to carry it with :wink:
