Cronkhite Bag for 186

Post by TexTuba »

Hello everyone! I just found out that I have to give dimensions for a Cronkhite gig bag for a Mirafone 186 5-valved CC. It is the older, 16.5" bell...serial 12XXX. Soo..does anyone have them readily available? If so, I would be willing to compensate for such information. If not, then I will pull out the tape measure and see how close I am! Thanks!! :D

Several years ago, I ordered a Cronkite bag for my Bb Miraphone 191 thru Steve Fergason. Give Steve the measurments and you'l get the perfect bag. What's the going price for those now?

According to Steve's website ( http://www.hornguys.com/tubacases.htm ) the Miraphone 186 5U (Old 1972) would take the "YBB 641" (16.5 x 40) model.
