Protec PL251 Gig Bag

Post by tubatodd »

I just recently acquired a Besson 995 tuba with a 19" bell. I was hoping to get away with purchasing a Protec PL251, which appears to fit all of the dimensions, but says "up to 18.5" bell." What I would like to know is..

Would a 19" bell...
  • be impossible?
  • be pushing my luck?
  • cause damage to the bag?
  • cause damage to the horn?
  • any and all of the above?
@Matt Walters replied to a post on this bag (and other Protecs) on the other forum some years ago. Someone else also asked this very same "pushing the limits" question with no reply. I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience.

I have the bag in-bound from Amazon. I suppose I can give it a try and return if it doesn't work out.
