Gig bag repair

Post by JCalkin »

I have an Altieri bag for my CC tuba that has come into contact with some battery acid (it could only happen to me...) and now has a four inch hole in the bottom.

Can this be repaired? How? Will it be worth the cost/work or do I now have a legitimate excuse to get a new bag? :wink:

Thanks for all help/advice

Contact Donna Altieri. She does these repairs all the time and she does them very inexpensively.
My opinion for what it's worth...
