Got a new bag for my Rudy, so I don't need this anymore. This bag is well worn and is missing it's accessory should strap and bell cover but works well.

SOLD

How tall of a horn would it accommodate?

My Rudy is 40" tall and was a little tight. I would not recommend buying it for anything taller.

Not to be (too) pedantic but when I think "Kaiser" I think of really tall German tubas, so I assumed reading your ad that this would fit things like a Miraphone 190 kaiser BBb (~45" tall) or a Cerveny 601 kaiser BBb (~43" tall).

Fair enough, but I would consider those both on the tall side of Kaiser tubas given that the Fafner or Fasolt (similar to a Rudy 5/4 BBb) are both 41.7 inches, and their taller cousin the M-W "Original" 197/2 is just shy of 45 inches. All of those horns I would consider a modern kaiser.
Tuba sizing is incredibly nebulous to begin with, I have always taken "Kaiser tuba" to mean, big and tall rotary tuba. Which is an apt description of any of the tubas mentioned in this thread, all pedantry aside.

It is worth noting that a tuba 41-42 inch tall tuba with a bell smaller than 19 inches may also fit, but it would be tight.

Understood, thank you very much.

This would be a great bag for any of those big old American makes. Had I not purchased a bag for my 340 already, I’d be all over this one.
