Detail 01
Large frame sizing
Built for the biggest tuba bodies. A smaller horn will move inside it, which is its own risk in transit.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A case for large-frame tubas. For players with a full-size horn that a standard case will not close over.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-size, large-bodied tubas that outgrow a standard case
- Replacing a case that no longer latches around a big horn
- Protecting a large tuba during regular transport to gigs and rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 3/4 and smaller tubas, which will shift inside a large-frame shell
- Anyone trying to save money on a case for a modest-sized horn
- Players who need a specific factory-matched case for their model
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
Case, not a gig bag
Rigid protection matters most on a large horn, where a knock to the bell or leadpipe is expensive to fix.
Detail 03
Replacement case
Sold separately from any instrument, so fit comes down to your horn's actual measurements.
Detail 04
Black finish
Neutral for stage and pit use; add a tag if it lives in a shared storage room.
Detail 05
$850
Top of the range here, reflecting the material and structure a large-frame shell requires.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure bell diameter and overall height against the case interior; large frame is not a standard
- 02No instrument, mouthpiece, or stand is included
- 03A smaller tuba in this case will need padding to stop it shifting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What counts as a large frame tuba?
Generally a full-size horn with a wide bell and tall body. Measure yours and compare to the case interior rather than going by the label.
02Will my 3/4 tuba fit?
It will go in but sit loose, and movement inside a case can do damage. A 3/4-specific case is the safer choice.
03How is this different from the 3/4 case?
Larger interior throughout. It is meant for full-size horns that a 3/4 shell will not close over.
04Does it include the tuba?
No. This is a case only, with no instrument or accessories.
