Does anyone have an idea as to where to find a box big enough for a sousaphone? I've called Uline and they will only sell in bulk. Checked with UHaul and my local UPS hub with no luck...

Are you looking for one in which to ship a sousaphone?

My repair guy is a partner in a music store that sells/rents/repairs string instruments and he gave me a box that their double basses came in. With some modification, it worked very well when I shipped a sousaphone.

Or check a grocery store. The big cardboard bins they use for pumpkins or watermelons are large, and super thick. Maybe even too big, just a thought!

MrBasseyPants, would you happen to still have that box? We are in Palatine and would be willing to come get it from you since we need to ship a sousaphone to a customer soon. If you do not still have it, do you happen to know what the dimensions of it were?

Thanks
