Unitec Cases
-2 different models (or they will build custom) $420 & up
Anvil/Calzone Cases

Regular/Hard Cases:
MTS- $395
DEG- Wood cases. Greatly improved in recent years...cordura cover, better latches, better interior, strap to keep bell from hitting end of case if dropped, nice wheels. About $450 or so.
Winter- The molded cases...the type of case a lot of Cerveny and Miraphone tubas use. $469-550
