Advice on choice of case

Post by hubert »

I am looking for a (not too expensive) hard case/flight case for a 6/4 York model tuba.
Would be pleased with some advice or suggestions.
Thanks,
Hubert

MTS cases are comparatively cheap and they should have one that will fit a 6/4 horn. However, I can not personally attest to flight-worthyness of these cases.

Maybe if you're lucky you can find a cheap Walt Johnson case used.

For what it's worth - I have flown a King 2341 in an MTS case exactly twice (8 segments, total) - without incident.

Your milage may vary.
