The Mr Tuba bag is a fully synthetic, padded gigbag that’s ready to take great care of any standard BB-flat tuba (also called double BB-flat bass in brass bands). Designed for everyday use and regular travel, it wraps your instrument in a soft, non-abrasive lining with thick internal padding to keep it safe from bumps and scratches. A sturdy bell protector adds extra peace of mind for the tuba’s most vulnerable feature.
Designed for more comfortable and practical lugging, the bag comes with padded rucksack straps and a quick-release sternum strap to help balance the load. Two convenient side handles make lifting and manoeuvring in tight spaces straightforward. Storage is thoughtfully laid out too, with spacious external zip-up pockets for music and accessories, plus an internal security pocket for your smaller valuables and essentials.
It’s designed to accommodate all standard top-action three- or four-valve BB-flat bass tubas, including the Besson Sovereign (old 992 and current 994), B&H Imperial, and Yamaha Neo. It is also a best fit for the Willson 3400TA EE-flat tuba, which has a more elongated form. A smaller bag is available for all other standard EE-flat tubas.
It accommodates instruments with a bell diameter up to 19½ inches (500 mm) and a body length up to 42 inches (1,070 mm).
