The Pro-Tec case that came with it is just too far gone. The material is just rotting and can't be saved.
If there are leads for something used, I'd love to know!

I'll need to whip out the measuring tape (giggity), but I do know the bell is 20", according to the site.

So I finally measured it...and this ancient tape measure is done after measuring a tuba:
40.5" height
11" valves to back
19" bell
20" side to side
One is the tears in the current gig bag is exposing the horn now. So it's probably past time to replace it!

Looks like I should pick up the same basic case. I can pick it up on Amazon for less than $250.
It couldn't really have come at a worse time. Had to buy a new concert black suit (and decided it was time to get a suit that's not super cheap), my Conn's overhaul finished after a year, I just bought the new euph before this bag really got this torn, and now this!

So, after all of that, I just ended up getting the same case: The Pro Tec Gold large tuba bag for ~$230. Couldn't find any other options outside of a custom case from Cronkhite, which I simply couldn't afford at the moment.
Apparently the "Gold" cases from Pro Tec are known to have issues with ripping seams. It's a shame, I've never had a Pro Tec Case that didn't outlast my ownership of an instrument, and hope the new case will last.
