Doubts about getting a tuba

[bort]

The Miraphone gig bags are great for doorways -- they have a rigid plastic disc on top of the bell (and about 1" of padding buffer above the bell), the idea being that any impact would be dispersed before getting to the bell. I've bumped a few doorways and subway turnstiles, and haven't noticed anything new as a result.

Only negative is that the shoulder straps aren't as comfortable as the Cronkhite. I suppose that's something I could change, but I'm lazy.

I *don't* know what sizes of non-Miraphone tubas do/don't fit in the Miraphone bags.

Ok thank you very much for information!

I have emailed The horns guy 2 days ago and is still waiting for their reply before making decision

Thank you

I just got a reply from steve at the Horn guys. He said no tubas he shipped was ever damage. Even if so he will make it right
