Soundline Gigbag for B-Tuba Melton 195 Fafner

The first impression of the quality is good, but from experience you have to see how it looks in a year or two with weekly use.
My old one was better in terms of packing the tuba, you could put the big bag there and put the tuba in easily, but the straps tore.

A nice sturdy bag with enough room for normal stuff like sheet music etc.
Good padding and well thought out backpack straps.

After struggling with the heavy original case for my Lechgold tuba for a long time, the gig bag is a real joy! It fits perfectly and I can now fit the tuba in the trunk without having to fold down the back seat. I am particularly impressed by the price/performance ratio.

I bought the gig bag for the Mardi-Brass KT-30. I have never found a better fitting gig bag for a tuba.
It is light and provides sufficient protection. It is very comfortable to wear, even when cycling. The chest strap keeps it in place and prevents it from slipping.
The straps can be fixed in place thanks to the construction and do not lengthen when worn, as often happens with other gig bags. However, this makes adjustment a little trickier. The outside pockets fulfill their purpose, I can fit a thin folder, a music stand and a small water bottle. The pocket for the mouthpiece is housed in the lid. This means that the mouthpiece is also well protected and doesn't get in the way. I really like the fact that it is closed with a zipper, so there is no risk of the mouthpiece falling into the tuba during transportation, as is often the case with Velcro fasteners.
An additional handle attached to the body makes it easier to load, whether into the trunk, onto the back seat or into the box of the cargo tricycle.
The handle is comfortably padded.
