Gig bag for Wessex Chicago Presence 18" Bell

Post by Somarithedark »

Hi all, I'm in the market for a gig bag that would fit the Wessex Chicago Presence 6/4 CC. It is 36.5” tall and it has an 18" bell. I was thinking of taking the easy route and grabbing the one that Wessex makes for it, but I would like to know my other options. I know that Altieri isn't making them right now, and Cronkites are way out of my range right now. I would be interested in a Miraphone bag but I'm not sure which one would fit. Thanks for any and all advice.

The Miraphone 1291 bag fits. I've done this.

Did you have any complaints with how it fit? I'm probably going to order one tomorrow.

nope. Snug for sure. It will feel a bit tight but leave the horn in there for a day and the foam compresses just fine.

Definitely grabbing one, after I sort out another few financial commitments. Thanks for letting me know!
