I bought a Frank Holton & Co. Eb tuba, and I'm borrowing a case right now, but it's a pain to lug around, so I want to buy a bag for it.

My budget is about $150, though I'd be willing to go a little over if someone had something like a beat up miraphone bag

I would also consider consider old cases, if anyone has any



Thanks,

Those came in two very different sizes. Maybe provide us with some measurements and photos?

My 1914 Holton Monster Eb had the same bell and outer branch size as the current single-piece-bell King 2341. I built a new valve section for it and then showed it off to a band director friend. We compared it with one of his school-owned 2341s — the bells and outer branches are almost identical.

This model of Holton Eb is significantly larger than the other model that I know about. (There may be more than two models, too, by the way.) Measurements and photos would help us help you.

Best of luck!

Mine is a Holton Medium, so its a top action 3 valve, unfortunately. I'll post some measurements in a bit when I have a minute to do so

Measurements are as follows:

Height: ~31 in
Bell Width: 15 in
Overall width: ~19 in

I can also send a photo if needed

and those horns are very nice!

Bump!

I have a brand new Gator gig bag that should work fine for you. It's listed on the forum. Here's the link:
