I have a Eb 3+1 comp tuba and a 3+1 comp baritone.
Anyone have any suggestions on a good gig bag for either instrument?
Also a comfortable strap or harness for my Tuba?

Re: Gig bag suggestions?
Is your " baritone" a true English style baritone or a Euphonium? SoundWear makes great bags with plenty of padding and reinforcement. I have the "Professional" for my euphonium.

British baritones have different bell diameters. Old ones like my B&H Imperial have a bell diameter of 8-¼", whereas the diameter with the newer Sovereigns is 9-½"

Re: Gig bag suggestions?
I use the Gard bag with my Wessex EEb Besson clone and like it a lot. Others are better, but for the price I don't think it's possible to beat. For my Mack Brass 3+1 euphonium I just recently got a Protec gig bag. It's great for taking the horn back and forth to rehearsal and to gigs in the car. I wouldn't use it for anything else.

The Wessex has a 19" bell, whereas the OP’s New Standard has a 15" bell.
