Literally only a few miles from my house!

And directly across the street from Laurel Chapman, my TC repairperson of choice!

Awesome news for tubas and for Minneapolis. :)

Wonderful news! I wonder if they will use any of the patterns to make fiberglass tuba cases? They have had a trombone case in the works for over a year according to their website that was using a kickstarter campaign to secure funding. It was supposed to ship out over a year ago. I have always liked their trumpet bags and would love to try one for trombones, and hopefully tubas or at the very least one of the excellent designs that Cronkite has made in the past.

That carbon fiber case they had in Knoxville was super sweet. I want to say around 3500. Would just about need a hand made Baer,nirschl York or yamayork to justify. It was amazing.
