Cronkhite bag question

Post by dsfinley »

I’m going to be purchasing a Cronkhite bag for my HB-1P very soon and was looking at their website they have an HB-2 option listed in their pre-measured bags but not an HB-2P. Would the same bag fit both horns? I know it would be tall and wide enough, but would the depth be the same?

I'm thinking that the rotary, the early piston (loop in mouthpipe), and later (no loop in mouthpipe, but longer inner bow) are all the footprint (length/bell diameter).

I wish I could say for certain, but feel confident...

...but you could send them one of these forms - filled out, just to be safe:

Reach out to them and ask. They are SUPER helpful and can probably tell you exactly what the best thing to do is going forward.

It’ll fit. All those horns are the same size.
