Buying a new gig bag

Post by Tubaguy32478 »

So my Sterling gig bag, which has been holding my pt-6p, has finally begun to fall apart. Therefore, I am in the market for a new gig bag, but I am not really sure where to go.

What are your opinions on purchasing a new gig bag for a pt-6p?

Unfortunatly, I dont think that would be large enough. I dont think the horn's bell would fit in this case. Thanks though!

Altieri--They custom build to your measurements.

Mine was great and Glen was a pleasure to work with.

I have purchased 3 Altieri bags - one for each of my recent acquisitions. All custom made to measure and even in different colours. Very good quality and a reasonable price. Donna would most likely have the measurements to suit.

I have Alteri bags for my 983 and my bass bone and have been happy with them over the years. I also had a euphonium bag for many many years and never had a complaint. That said, I now have a Cronkite bag for my euphonium and have to say how much I really love it. If I ever need another bag for my tuba I'll probably order the Cronkite, but I don't think I'll give up my trombone bag. That one is rock solid and regularly rides in the back of the pick-up with no worries.

Cronkhite, best bags I've ever owned. Fits my PT-6P great. Highly recommend these bags.
