Just a tip to anyone considering a gig bag for their 5050. The leather or cordura euphonium Cronkhite bag will NOT comfortably fit into their bag. It doesn't even come come close to fitting the pricey Marcus Bona bag, even if you take out some of the padding (not recommended).

I'm glad I brought my horn to see for myself. I suppose you could technically say it "fit", but it was way too tight near the bell section and seemed to buldge too much on the bottom. Yes, it fit, but I think there is too much of a chance. Even the sales person thought it was too tight.

I think it needs about 2" more to make it work. I'm waiting to hear back from Cronkhite in the meantime to see if they're willing to make the adjustments.
