MiraphoneDeluxe Tuba Gig Bags Fits Large BBb And CC Tubas
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A padded blue gig bag from Miraphone sized for large BBb and CC tubas, with published fit lists for medium BBb/CC and Eb/F horns too. $449.99.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Owners of Miraphone 1291, 191 or Meinl Weston 2155 tubas
- Players hauling a tuba to rehearsals who want less weight than a hard case
- Miraphone 186, 187, 188 and 181 F owners checking the medium fit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone shipping or checking a tuba on a flight — use a hard case
- Ambassador Eb and 181 F owners looking at the Eb/F fit list
- Horns not on the fit lists, since tuba bodies vary too much to guess
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Medium BBb and CC fit list
Miraphone 186, 187, 188 and the 181 F are covered, so one bag spans several Miraphone models.
Detail 03
Eb and F fit list
Miraphone 281, 282, 283, Meinl Weston 2182, Yamaha YBB621, YCB621, YFB621. Ambassador Eb and 181 F are excluded here.
Detail 04
Besson 983 listed as a tight fit
It goes in, but expect to work at the zipper. Not the bag to grab if you are loading fast.
Detail 05
Gig bag, not a hard case
Padding absorbs knocks and scuffs. It will not survive being stacked under other gear or handled by an airline.
Detail 06
Blue
Easy to spot in a pile of black cases backstage.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit my tuba?
Check your exact model against the three fit lists: large BBb/CC, medium BBb/CC, and Eb/F. Tuba bodies differ enough between makers that a close model is not a safe assumption.
02Can I fly with this?
A gig bag is padded, not rigid. For checked baggage or cargo handling, a hard case is the right choice. This is built for carrying to rehearsals and gigs.
03Does it fit a Besson 983?
Yes, but it is listed as a tight fit. Plan on some effort getting the horn in and the zipper closed.
04Does it fit an Ambassador Eb or a 181 F?
The Ambassador Eb will not fit. The 181 F is not in the Eb/F list, but it does appear under the medium BBb/CC fit alongside the Miraphone 186, 187 and 188.
