Re: Gig Bag for Wessex Wyvern

I have a Gard 62-MSK for my Wyvern and it's a near perfect fit. Super protective gig bag as well. How does it work as a backpack? I have a Protec Bag for the Meinl Weston 20 and it constantly whacks me in the back of the legs when I walk. The Miraphone bag that came with my sons 186 is much better ...

I own a New Conn 20K...

And I love it! (TL;DR - It's good!) I wanted to create a post to talk a little about the new version of the Conn 20K. I have not seen much on the internet in terms of user experience with these (the newer versions at least), and I wanted to share my experience with mine, now that I've had it since ...

Re: Gig bag for Conn 20K

Okay, rather than deleting my post out of embarrassment, I'm leaving it here for future readers that may be in my situation. After sending emails to the retailer asking for full refund, I pulled out the Gard bag again. I definitely worked up a sweat doing it (and had the full encouragement and ...

Re: Gig bag for Conn 20K

You're correct, the protech fits... I think I'm just not convinced it's going to protect the horn that well. Particularly afraid of where the 3rd valve tubing sticks out... Anyways thanks for getting me to try again.

Re: Gig bag for Conn 20K

I'll try again when I get home but it was giving me the same problem as the Gard which was the bell sits too tall when it's in there and it doesn't zip. My 32K fits in the protech but it's significantly smaller... My horn is also made in the last ten years so I'm not sure if anything's changed since ...

Gig bag for Conn 20K

For as popular of a sousaphone as it is (for good reason), I'm surprised that there aren't any gig bags that fit the 20K. I've tried the main two (protech and Gard) and neither will zip with the 20K inside. Maybe I'm wrong (hopefully I'm wrong)? Any leads in custom makers? Willing to pay good money ...

Re: Mouthpieces FS (big list cheap prices)

I honestly don't know a lot about it. It came with a tuba purchase and I haven't really used it that much. I'd say it's a heavy weight, medium to medium shallow, bowl/funnel hybrid, with a 32.6mm inner diameter rim. I feel like it can generate a lot of volume. Here are some pictures. https://photos ...

Sold: Mack Brass TU-410 CC Tuba W/ Gold Brass Bell $1900

Hi there! I bought this horn new from Mack Brass. It's in nearly perfect condition with no dings. All the valves are fast and quiet, and the slides pull easily. The tuba plays really quite in tune, and has a beautiful, warm sound. Comes with the case shown and I'll throw in a Fergusson Laskey 30G MP ...
