TubeNet

Hey TubeNet

I'm selling two flight cases I no longer need. One is a MW Flight trunk that I bought used from TubeNet myself about 10 years ago. I think I've flown with it twice and it's really a terrific case...horn was very safe inside. This would fit a smaller C tuba or a larger F tuba. My Yamaha 621 had too much room in it, but did terrific in the gig bag inside the case.

The other one is a larger Unitec Flight Case built for a CC tuba (A Besson 995, to be exact). I've only flown with this three times. As quoted by the unitec company "If this case fell out of the airplane mid-flight, the horn would be crushed from the g-forces but the case would remain intact" The only bummer about the case is that my name is stitched inside the case (seemed like a good idea at the time...). You could easily cut out the stitching, or put tape over it, or sharpie... There are some small chunks taken out of the wheels, but they still roll along just fine. There's also an extra set of casters I'll include with this case, so that it can be pushed through airports (very helpful)

I have measurements for the cases...these are interior measurements, so these are the ones you'd need for your horn:

Unitec (Black)
Interior Specs
36 long (height of horn)

19 3/4 at bottom (across horn)

23 3/4 at widest (across horn)

19-20 inch bell


M-W (Blue)
Interior Specs
39 long (height of tuba)

19 wide (width of horn)

6 3/4 deep at base (bottom bow height)

16 at bell

I'd prefer not to get a ton of questions about "will XX model horn fit in this case" because I don't know the precise measurements of each horn, but I can do extra measurements if you'll provide me with the details of your horn.

I'd listen to any kind of offer for either case. Shipping costs would have to be added on, and I would recommend shipping Greyhound as it'll be the fastest, cheapest way to get these guys to where they need to be.

Thanks for reading!

For the larger case, you're saying that only 16 inch bells will fit? Doesn't the Besson have a 19 or so inch bell? Just asking because I'd like to have that one for my Tuono but at that bell diameter it won't fit

The larger case is the Unitec, which is described in his second paragraph but has its dimensions listed first.

You're right, sorry about that

I have a 4/4 Nirschl CC that would fit perfectly in the larger of the two. The Canadian dollar has tanked, but I need a good flight case... Care to PM a price for which you'd be willing to part with that one? It's going to Toronto, ON (if you're willing to ship).

Thanks.

Are these still available?
