Trying to get organized...

Ok now that I have my horn, I must figure out how to tote all my extra junk valve oil, slide oil, mouthpieces, music etc... I'm think I might use an old laptop bag with external pouches. But wouldn't mind something that attaches to the case either externally or internally as long as there isn't a chance of dinging the tuba..
I have enough bags to equip a small army so I'm sure I have something that will work just didn't want to look like a gypsy everywhere I go.

Jerry, I have to admit that the cheaply made Chinese clone cases are very sturdy & lightweight & being
heavy cloth covered, they have a small zippered pouch for accessories & a larger one for music folders.
My Pro-Tec gig bag that I have for my King 2341 also has the same zippered pouches so if you bring your horn,
you bring all the other stuff with you

Chronkite gig bag is on my list but really wanted cheap for now...

oh...The topic is more "how to carry" rather than "what to carry"...??

Here's about the cheapest I know of that will fit a 3' tall tuba with a 19" bell.

Call up Stan Kolb (phone number is web address) and ask if he can check and see if a new-style 2341 will squeeze in there...

He'll check it out for you and report back.

Ill do that, guess I should have elaborated, I just have several music books, 1 valve oil, 1 slide oil, 2 mouthpieces and a tuner I can take the mouthpieces out of the cases and everything but the books fit in the hard case with my tuba.
So I figured since I needed something for the books I'd look for a solution for all and not cram my case full.

I have to agree with Joe on this! Tuning slide grease is something you put on at home & you
shouldn't need it again for many months. These are the items that I ALWAYS keep keep in
my tuba case/gig bag:
1. spare mouthpiece (in case I forget my main one)
2. valve oil
3. cleaning cloth
4. clothespins (for outdoor gigs)
5. spare AA batteries for my stand light (if I remember to bring my stand light )
6. toothbrush
So if I remember to bring my horn, I automatically get all the above mentioned items.
