tuba gig bags

Post by Bbfoghorn »

This is cross posted on wanted to buy also:

Hello All,
This may or may not be a niggling thing for some, but to me it matters. Can anybody detail with certainty where Gard bags for tubas are made? Where Mr. Tuba bags are made? Where Miraphone bags are made? Reunion Blues are Chinese. Cronkhite bags are back to being made in the US. Bassbags are made in the UK. How about protec? Most of the aforementioned do not provide information about country of manufacture. That is problematic for me. Gard bags emblem has a 'roo on the front implying Australian made, but it's not mentioned on their site. Same with most others. All information is appreciated. Thanks. Foggy

I'm pretty sure its going to come down to Cronkhite or Gard once more info is available. I believe they may be the only 2 that make leather bags as an option. If this is incorrect please advise. Foggy

Gard Bags are made in India and Protec bags are made in China.

Gard bags have really stepped their quality up in the past few years. The bags that they are making for Adams F tubas are very nice.
