Neat! You don't see these very often. I've always wondered how they play.

Long ago, I had a leather Cronkhite bag for my WIllson 3050RZ. Pretty awesome bag, but it was SO heavy. The tuba plus bag together... ouch!

Yep, I have an old RB leather bag for my 6/4 York 736. Certainly not light but me like!

I am about to order a NEW Cronkhite leather bag for my not yet rebuilt Holton 345… I know it will be very heavy but I felt like that tuba deserves a really nice case.

I got one for my Rudy. It's 18lbs by itself, but to fair it's a least two whole hides worth of thick leather.
