MTS tuba travel hard cases 4 sale-UPDATE-1205-SOLD

Post by bisontuba »

Hi-
UPDATE:
THE LARGE 1209 CASE IS SOLD
THE MID SIZE CASE, THE 1207, IS SOLD
***THE SMALL CASE, THE 1205, IS SOLD
THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED!!

I have 3 MTS tuba travel cases for sale. The small one, the 1205V, has never been used-like new! The mid size one, the 1207V, has been used and shows some tape marks (from duct tape when putting labels, etc. on the shell) on the outside and some light scuffing. The large one, the 1209V, has some scuff marks too--however all are exceptional-just cosmetics--no dents, cracks, & all latches, wheels, handles are fine, AND I've never had a horn damaged in one!
Here is some info on MTS cases and what each case can and will fit:

MTS are the "Miraphone" of cases: reasonably priced, effective and durable. I was not surprised to see these new/like-new ones get snapped up at those prices.

I didn't get around to checking TubeNet quickly enough. For $225, I'd have bought it too!
