Gig bag solution for a B&S pt-22p
Posted: Sat May 18, 2013 1:02 am
I have a B&S pt-22p e flat tuba, and am curious what case people have used...
It came with a Sterling gig bag from Custom Tuba, but I am not overly sold on the amount of padding or the overall quality of the bag.
I tried a Blue Miraphone gig bag which I love, but it was too tight of a fit.
The option I have at the moment is a cronkhite bag, but the closest thing available is a bag designed for a Willson 3400 E flat tuba. They appear to be very similar in size, although I have been told the length of the Willson tuba is 3-4cm longer, and from reading specs it appears to be a 1/2" bigger in the bell.
Has anyone had experience with this? I am investing a good amount of money in a bag, and I want a good fit and a quality bag.
Does anyone have any other options? I have been told the fit is pretty close and should be fine (and I trust the source)- I am curious if there are any other brands or recommendations for a soft case. I am not interested in any type of hard case.
Thanks!
