     I own a Ybb-641 and I would like to purchase a bag for it, as it came with a monster case.  I'm tired of carrying the tuba around with no protection.  The features I am looking for are thick padding, durable construction and definatly back-pack straps.  Some people have told me that the Pro-tec bag comes with the straps, and others (namely the local music store) have told me otherwise.  The bags I am interested in are the Pro-tec, Reunion Blues, and Alitieri, maybe even the Dolly Bag.  Are there any others I am missing?  I plan on going to collage for music and don't intend on having this tuba for more than 2 more years, so would it be a good idea to get a larger bag to fit a different sized tuba?  If so, what size?  Thanks in advanced for any help!
