Best 3/4 gig bag?

[clintontuba2]

Looking for opinions on a good gig bag for a small 3/4 size tuba. Yamaha ybb-103.
These horns are pretty small even for a 3/4. Not looking to spend over $200.00. Any opinions?

check out Wessex's bags.

I bought the Wessex bag for my Eb Martin. It also works for my Conn 10J. It has nice stowable backpack straps and was under $200 (at least it was, a year and a half ago.)

Thanks for the replies. I used to see bags made of corduroy. How hard are those to come by? Also wondering about leather.

I have an Altieri bag made for a 3/4 Lidl which I'll give to you. You pay postage. It's in excellent condition, used just a few times. Sold the tuba, but the buyer didn't want the bag. Send PM if interested.

That’s very generous. PM sent.

Before this thread goes by the wayside, I just wanted to point out that Norm just did a very nice thing. In addition to pleasing the original poster, it also made my day.

^ Clearly, you've never owned an Alteiri bag before...




Jk, that's a heck of a nice thing. Great to see it!

I agree 100%. What a nice thing to do. With everything going on in the world, it is so refreshing to be on the receiving end of such a kind and selfless gesture. Hopefully I can do something nice like that for someone when the opportunity arises.
