Description

Glenn Cronkhite Tuba Gig Bags are the most respected and imitated gig bags on the planet. But be careful! Only the ones made by Glenn Cronkhite will survive decades of daily use, and only Glenn Cronkhite took the time to fit 180+ specific tuba models into 90 unique patterns.

NOTE: Almost all Cronkhite orders are cut and sewn after the order is made. If you need a rush, be sure to check with us first.

There are small number of tubas in the world that aren’t yet matched to a pattern. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t find one that works if we know its dimensions. If your tuba doesn’t show up in the pulldown menus above, please carefully fill out this form and email it to sales@glenncronkhite.com : Tuba Measurement Tool

Protection

• Choose leather for about 30% more impact protection.
• You choose the exterior – either a top quality leather, or the best US-made genuine Cordura fabrics.

Durability

• Glenn Cronkhite Tuba Gig Bags are famously known to last decades without issues.
• We’ve upgraded these fine bags with huge #10 YKK main zippers.
• We use solid brass-plated steel rivets and T138 polyester threads for longevity.

Design

• This is an original Glenn Cronkhite tuba gig bag, dating back to the 1970s!
• You will experience perfect portability in a lightweight bag for easy transport wherever you are headed.

Exterior

• We use only the finest top grain leathers. Choose from smooth black, a deep chocolate brown, canyon sunrise, distressed badlands, or a stylish British tan.
• Our nylons are US-made genuine Cordura, which is one of the most durable fabrics ever invented. Its abrasive strength is unmatched, and is almost always considered “Military Spec”. We chose this material because the others just aren’t good enough.

Specs

• These can vary, but the nylon bags are about 8-9 pounds (4 kilos), and the leather bags come in around 14-16 pounds (7 kilos).
