York Monster Eb gig bag options

Post by lost »

Looking at the box retail stores, there appears to be few options for gig bags for a smallish horn with a big bell (19.5)

Any ideas?

Anything that fits a new style King 2341 really well. The Monsters of York and Holton are essentially the same horn, and they are just a tad smaller than the King. That should help guide your research some. Here is the Holton Monster Eb that I built, next to a King 2341 for comparison.

@Lee Stofer has a few bags this size in stock. He has both leather and Cordura Cronkhite bags as well as a lightly used Gard bag that will fit a tuba that size. I encourage you to give him a call or send me a pm for more information.
