Custom Cronkhite Gig Bag

I have been carting around my King 2341 with detachable bell in two large hard cases long enough, at least long enough to know that I would like to cart it around in one piece. So I contacted Glenn Cronkhite and he told me to get precise measurements. When I was searching under Cronkhite Gig Bags on Tutbenet, I did see a diagram for taking such measurements. I have been unable to re-discover the post. Can any of you all direct to to the post with the diagram for taking measurements of one's tuba, so Mr. Cronkhite can begin to make me a gig bag to haul around my King in one piece? Thanks.

It's a little fuzzy, but if you have any questions, Glenn will help you through them. I had to measure my Marzan and use this form, it's not so bad. And good choice. You will not be disappointed.

Ah, bort, you beat me to it. I have a Cronkhite soft case for my B&S PT-20P, and I find it a lot more ergonomic and maneuverable than my old Pro-Tec gig bag. It took about 4 weeks for the case to arrive in the mail, but it was definitely worth the wait! :D

Thanks Bort for the diagram. Time to measure.
