Helicon gig bag

Post by Hank74 »

I've purchased a BBb helicon that should be arriving sometime next month. But I need a gig bag that will fit. I've attached a photo of the helicon for help out.

My question is, would any of you know of a place I can contact to purchase one?

I might (??) still have an economy cordura one that was designed to fit the Cerveny helicon...
It may be under my piano, and - if there - needs to be converted into cash (not much).
If you're ok with a not-cadillac bag, sent me a note, and I'll see if it's still there.

I got a custom made one from a chap in Poland

https://sklepakord.pl/yar101.html

Cheap and decent quality.

I'm in the UK so postage was OK (pre-brexit) not sure what it'll be like to the US.

Any idiot can play the guitar. It takes a special kind of idiot to play the Bass.

Talk to David Messina at messinacovers@gmail.com He is based in Louisville, Kentucky and has made four beautiful tuba bags for me. He may be able to help you. :tuba:
