Post by dhfaktmxj »

SKB 385w possible? think 390w is too big and the length of 385w is not enough any thoughts?
I don't prefer J winter, the hinges aren't strong enough.

Thank you!

I own a JBL F tuba. The standard Winter is okay, but the case for the Miraphone 181 F tuba is a perfect fit and it has more support inside the case. Mine went to Australia and back with no damage to the instrument or case. I believe you can get them through WWBW. They might even have one on hand. I believe the case for the Bel Canto is the same case.

Let me know if I can help.
