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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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 E-flat tuba, which has a more elongated form. A smaller bag is available for all other standard E-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).
We supply this gigbag online and in-store to dozens of customers each year and are not aware of any common fitting issues. If we hear of exceptions, we will update our product information accordingly.
It’s lighter and less bulky than a hard case, while still offering reliable padding and protection. The backpack straps improve portability, and it packs flat for easy storage during rehearsals or performances. For everyday local use, it’s the more convenient option. A hard case, by contrast, is better for touring, long-distance travel, or long-term storage, when maximum protection is essential.
