gig bag for a Piggy?

Post by ken k »

Hello fellow tube netters,
Any of you piggy players out there, I was curious what gig bag you have? There do not seem to be any regular bags out there that would fit. My 3/4 bag I use for my mini Yamaha is too tight. Perhaps a top loader?

You are correct, DP. I just looked at the HornGuys site, and it indicates Cronkite makes a bag for the Piggy.

You could also have Altieri make a bag for you. All of their bags are made to your horns measurements, so you don't have to worry about finding a bag model that will work.

You might try the Wessex bags. I have had great service from them and their bag is well-made. They will recommend which bag will fit your horn best. http://www.wessex-tubas.com/" target="_blank

i think that is the same bag I bought from them. I bought their 3/4 tuba bag to use with my yamaha 103. It is a bit loose on my Yamaha, but it is very tight on the piggy, and I am not crazy about having the bag wrap against the valves and linkage so tight.
