Hello, all!
I am looking to get a gig bag for my front valve euphonium (the King 2268 Artist Euph), and I'm curious to see what other people are using. I'm not knowledgeable enough in the area of gig bags to know if standard euph bags would work, and since it is a relatively tall horn, I am further in the dark. Any suggestions out there would be great! I would like to keep cost reasonable, but if I have to spend a little more for something really good, so be it.

Re: Gig bag for front-valve euph
Ah, some clarification--this is a bell up instrument. Although the bell-up version of that Protec bag looks like a solid contender!

To AHynds,
Oops, read front valve euph and thought bell front. Sorry, my mistake.

I do like my Altieri tuba bags, so I think I'll go that route!58mark wrote:I would get an altieri in a custom dimension

Re: Gig bag for front-valve euph
Aaron, how do you like that horn? I kinda want a front bell version to play jazz on.
