TubeNet

The Woodwind-Brasswind website has a Gard gig bag pictured with a length-wise zipper. The bag they ship is a "top loader". If you want a top loader, the bag is alright. If you need a bag you can lay the tuba into, you will not get the bag in the picture on the website. They are standing by what they ship, and seem to be unwilling or unable to correct the photo.

Forewarned is the word of the day.

That's a dirty shame. I really like the long-zipper Gard bags, but the top-loader is not much help for a big tuba.
