Protec Platinum Bell Size

Post by Unclemustash »

Has anyone pushed the limits of the protec platinum PL251 gig bag? Looking for a bag to hold a 19” bell and their specs online say “up to 18.5 for bell diameter.”

Has anyone pushed the limits an extra 0.5” and found it too tight or snug?


Thanks!

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am interested in this bag for a Besson 995 with a 19" bell.

FWIW, the Protec Deluxe line has one that can take up to a 22" bell.

I just received this bag and the Besson 995 does indeed fit.
