I need some help:
Which of the Miraphone gig bags will fit my piggy CC best?

Check out Altieri instead. They probably have one off-the-shelf, and if not a custom-aized bag isn't that expensive considering what you get.

I have one for my Miraphone 188 and I love it. I believe that the piggy is shorter or wider and might have a different sized bell. I know it is quite the same shape. I would look into alternatives (Tuxedo Bag, Alteiri, Reunion Blues, Etc.). I would think that the Miraphone factory bag would be more suitable for Miraphone tubas.

I had a Piggy before my Miraphone 186. The Piggy is shorter than, not as wide as, and has a smaller bell than the Miraphone 186. Miraphone has three sizes available. I would estimate that the "small" would fit your Piggy just right.

The Miraphone gig bags are VERY nice, no doubt, but if you want a top-notch gig bag that fits your piggy exactly, call Donna Altieri and have her make you one. Her gig bags are worth every penny, IMHO.
