For what its worth, the bag to end all bags. I had mine made---at the outdoor sport shop. These stores are often well equipped and knowledgable in the prduction of bags for various different needs.
Basically, its a giant back pack with padding where I wanted it, reinforced where I needed it, with extra over-the-shoulder strap and handles, and made of rough-and-tough Cordura on the in- and outside (no more valve-tears on the inside of your indistructable gig-bag). Because its a back pack, its big enough to get any horn inside, but can be sufficiantly tighted up on all sides to fit the horn I'm using. And instead of being scientifically designed to fall apart after five years, it has a life-time guaranty. I did pay more ($400), but I also have something I really like.
