Gigbag for a Besson 995

Post by Tubaburger »

I'm looking for a durable gigbag for a Besson 995. I have a tubaexchange gigbag that I used on an old horn that doesn't fit it at all, and is not nearly as padded as I'd like. I gig on a weekly basis, and I've worn the default hard case out considerably from shlepping and so forth. I don't like alteri, because they are real flimsy, I'm thinking something along the lines of a reunion blues product but I've never seen one in person. They look expansive though, and I'm not sure which one would be the right fit. Or if there's a better suggestion out there, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

Check out Glenn Cronkhite's work. Many dealers carry his bags. He has patterns for virtually every tuba out there.
