The Johnsons are on vacation this week, the first one in 12 years. That is why you can't get hold of them. Everybody deserves a vacation at least once in twelve years, it seems, but they should have put it on the answering machine, methinks.

The Johnson cases are very, very large, and very, very heavy. They consist of a rigid outer shell and extensive padding inside, with the bell held firmly in place as well as the body of the tuba. If I wanted to save money....I'd do what someone suggested with layer upon layer of bubble wrap inside a very sturdy box. Maybe with some kind of rigid frame inside the box to keep it from becoming rounded.
