For those of you looking, I found a GREAT box for shipping tubas!

It is a "grand wardrobe" box (24x21x48). Granted what I am shipping is a 7/8 size horn (an Olds O-99), I had plenty of room left over - I'm fairly certain this would fit something like a Miraphone 186 (or like size).
What is particularly beneficial (in my opinion) is the metal bar. I asked the store for a second one and bent it to fit the 21" side as well. I always get spooked about the box getting crushed and wrinkling the bell, so the worries should be put to rest.
Just thought some of you might have interest in this...not bad for $12!
