Getzen CC CB-50 Gig bag?

Post by tubaport »

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best fitting gig bag for an old CB-50? I am not sure on the exact height, but estimate it is around 35"-36". The tricky part is the bell is listed at 20" diameter. Do you think a gig bag listed at bells fitting up to 19.5" would strech enough to work? Thanks for all your help!

Get a Cronkhite gig bag.

They have the correct, form fitting pattern on file for that instrument. The bag will be available in cordura or leather.

Horn Guys sells these.

I imagine that it would, as the CB-50 has a little York Monster Eb in it. The CB-50 bag might be a little big girth wise, but it's one of the few bags done for a short tuba with a 20" bell.
