2341 Case Info Needed

[Untersatz]

Wade, I don't know if you just wanted info. for purchasing a new case (or just for future reference) but
TheHat Tuba had one of these for sale & I think he still has it. I want it & need it for my 2341, but I just
haven't had ANY spare $$$ lately.

Mts makes the case I'm not certain of the model number.

Thanks, but the case sold a couple weeks ago. It definitely looked identical to an MTS though.

According to his site, Lee Stofer uses SKB cases for the Kanstul Yorks, so they probably have the size you are looking for.

MTS does make the King cases. MTS 1207V is the non-King branded equivalent.

I don't see how a case MTS lists as fitting a Miraphone 1291, can also fit the new style King 2341.
There is almost a 4" difference from top bow to bottom bow between these two horns.

The 1207 isn't "fitted" for a 2341 or a 1291. It has a more generic interior and more room at the bottom bow allowing for that 4" difference in height. MTS does sell dealers a 4" thick by about 12" long pad that can be added. That pad is the only difference between a 1708 and 1209...

If you want fitted, buy a fitted case... and pay the money.

IIRC, this is essentially what Baltimore Brass told me when I inquired a year or so ago about a case for my King 2341: that the interior "arrangements" are different in the two cases. I wound up buying the King case.

So you bought an actual King case?
How much did it cost?

Yes, I bought a King case. It was $550. I just went back and looked up my purchase data. The case I bought was/is listed on the Baltimore Brass web site under *Conn* cases, but has the description "Hard case for NEW King 2341 BBb tuba". When it came, it had the King logo on the outside. They still have them listed there for the same price.

Is there any difference between the 1207 & 1207V?
I usually see them listed as 1207V

[Untersatz]

Oh, yes, the 1207V will also carry a contra bass sarrusophone. Other than that, they're the same.

Excellent question!
