Thanks!

A tuba case is a different animal because of the size. My bass bone Johnson case is 25 years old and still going. Great solid strong hardware. Shell is thick and only scratched and scuffed after many overseas and bus tours. 23 states! Banding still original shape Only now, I’m having to reglue blocks and straps. Mine was custom built to the horn, down to where I set my tuning slides, so if buying second hand, recommend find one for same models or close to it.
