My old style King 2340 with upright bell fits in my Protec Platinum. It is $182 at Dillons, with free shipping. https://www.dillonmusic.com/protec-smal ... black.html" target="_blank" target="_blank

I have a Wessex bag that fits a 2341 perfectly. I bought it for my Yorkaphone, but did try it on a student's 2341.
Unconventional design, but very light and well-made. Not expensive, either.

There is a good 9 inches of space between the bottom bow and the bottom of the bag. As soon as you put the bag on your back, the tuba will sink down those 9 inches and would probably start flopping around.
i did not realize the size difference in those... i've filled in smaller gaps with pads/towels before, but 9" is a bit much... thank you.

The platinum is a shorter bag. I doubt that the King is 32 inches tall.

I have an Altieri in line to be sewn now- it's supposed to arrive early August. If you're still looking at that time, I can report in.

*edit- for reference, the King tuba IS about 33" tall*

Wessex has a bag for 19” bell and 35” tall that I used for my BBb that was similar sized to a 2341. Worked great for me.
