Cronkhite Gig Bag

[Michael Bush]

Small and blue.

This model of bag, as can be seen in the photos (but which may not "register" with a potential buyer) does not have the usual snap-on music pouch. It has an integral zippered pouch that is not the same size or shape as the zippered pouch Mr. Cronkhite usually uses. It also lack the integral zippered pouch on the strap side. All it has is the single pouch as seen in the photos.

I had one like this for my Cerveny 653, and I loved it. The pouch on the front, IMO, looks a million times cleaner than that damn snap-on thing. I always hated the snap-on pouch -- take a svelte and well made bag, and then attach this droopy and lumpy thing to the front? No thanks... I understand it's functionality, but personally, I think it looks terrible.

It would have been cleaner to just post it here first, but I figured while I was posting things on Ebay that hadn't sold here, I'd just go ahead and put it up there. Turns out a Tubenetter wanted it right away.

Hi-
Tight fit, but Cronkhite just fits the Graves & Co., Boston / Lawrence Brass Band German Silver upright 3 rotor Eb contrabass c. Late 1850's saxhorn!! Expensive bag for it, but for a one of a kind Inst. worth mega bucks..., well worth it!!
Thanks-
Mark

Glad it worked!
