Coolwind Tuba: Clone of? Fitting case?

Yep. Checked youtube videos. The tuba seems to sound. Might been needed some very specialized plastics work. Not everymans job.

Plastic instruments=
they can sound anywhere from terrible (like any horn) to very nice.
I find that they don't blend as well other brass instruments. I personally have to work harder in trying to get the same feel out of it (without succes).
If you are basically the "bassist" this all doesn't have to be a problem because of your function in the music.

I have a Tiger. It plays in tune but it does not sound as good as a brass horn. I find it's an all or nothing thing with volume. It is fun to play once you get used to it. Would I recommend it for children. NO. Number one a lot of kids are hard on horns and the plastic wont take abuse. Second it takes a lot of air to get adequate volume and decent intonation. If I'd paid full price for it I'd kick myself but I picked it up 2nd hand so I'm happy with it for what it is. Would I repeat the purchase. No.

Gig bags for those come in a 15 pack.
