Nice touch with the mouthpiece on the zipper. Cronkite’s idea or yours?

Promotion stuff from conventions?

I just got a "no bid quote" from Cronkite for my old Disten Eb 3v tuba - it is too long for an Euphonium bag and too small for any tuba bag he has designs for, and he is too busy for a new custom design

I have a few of those Miraphone keychains on my bags/around the house too. Cool stuff!

Here's a shot of my complementary Cronkhite bags for my Cerveny F and Marzan CC. (I've since sold the Marzan, but still have the Cerveny.) Notice that the Cerveny is too small to have the detachable pocket on the front. Honestly, having that one zipper pocket on the front is GREAT and I wish all of his bags were made that way. I don't much like the front pouch.
I also have a Miraphone gig bag for my Miraphone 188. I'll post a shot when I get a chance.

I have the same one as Schlepp does, in black.

For Texan usage Schlepp’s needed an accent.

Here's my Altieri Helicon Gig Bag that Donna and Co. custom made for me in late 2001. This is for my Amati BBb Helicon. I left the black drawstring bell cover on the instrument for the photo (included with the gig bag).

Gumby is sized for a BBb 186 and is about two years old. He usually looks a little darker than this but the flash really brought out the green. The top photo is closest to natural.

Yes sir. I have a third one that I'm using as a zipper pull on my good winter jacket.

Be careful if you are at TMEA and it happens to be cool that weekend. Wearing that jacket in the exhibit hall will cause beads of sweat on the foreheads of the booth operators. Those swinging Miraphone mouthpiece keychains can do some damage with a little momentum behind them.

The Reunion Blues bag I have for my York Master is identical to the one for your Marzan, which I assume is the brown one. Mine is all black, but it is otherwise identical. Mine was made by Cronkhite when he was at Reunion Blues.

I would buy one of those!

As always bloke is under influence. From his wife. He even would like top-action compensating tubas being restricted to recording on Scotch tape.

Drop a Blokepiece on the bell stack of your Thor, and you'll realize that dinging the mouthpiece wasn't what I was talking about.
