Hey Guys - I was going to sell a euphonium I'm no longer using, along with the old style Denis Wick practice mute. The gig bag I have is big enough to permit keeping the practice mute in the bell. Now I've seen people advocate the use of some sort of cone device to keep the edges of the bell away from the case to prevent damage from shipping, which this will certainly do. But my 6th sense is telling me that this is a bad idea. Have any of you ever shipped a euphonium like this successfully? I would appreciate hearing any positive or negative stories, etc.
Thanks so much as always
