The Tuba Exchange has specific hard cases for the St. Pete 202. Give them a call.

On the bag front, Glenn Cronkhite now has a pattern for the 202 (based on his personal measurements of my horn), so you could go that route as well.

I did contact TE. The bottom line is that the cases, despite the strong implication to the contrary on their web site, are ordinary production model MTS cases. TE says that they "fit like a glove" so no customized cases are necessary.

I am uncertain whether there is a manufacturer's case that TE just chooses not to carry, or if no such case is available. As another poster commented in another thread, it is also not clear what kind of glove TE meant (for example, baseball :) )

I owned one of those MTS cases and the St. Pete that was sold with it. It did indeed 'fit like a glove'. I did not see a need to spend any more money on a custom case.

Vince at the Tuba Exchange is a very honorable man and he is also a tuba player ... and to my knowledge has never screwed anyone over... so when he says it fits like a glove ... I would image he means it.
