Miraphone Hagen 494 – Hard Case for BBb Tuba

Miraphone Case for BBb-Tuba Hagen 494 is a genuine hard transport case designed specifically for the Miraphone Hagen 494 BBb tuba. Its durable shell, padded interior and integrated wheels help protect this large brass instrument during transport.

Construction and protection

The case features a robust ABS plastic shell reinforced with an extra-strong aluminium frame. A soft velvet-lined interior protects the instrument's finish from contact with hard case components.

The side sections have 30 mm padding, while the bell area features 40 mm protective padding. An internal mouthpiece holder is also provided.

Transport and compatibility

Integrated wheels make it easier to move the case over level surfaces. The case is designed for the Miraphone Hagen 494 (BBb, 3/4 size), with a 430 mm bell diameter and approximately 920 mm instrument height.

Important: this is a model-specific case. Compatibility with the Hagen 496 or other tubas should not be assumed without checking the instrument dimensions and internal supports. The case dimensions do not guarantee airline baggage acceptance.

Practical recommendations

Before closing, ensure the instrument rests correctly in its internal supports and the mouthpiece is stored separately. Secure the case against uncontrolled movement during transport. Confirm airline baggage arrangements before travelling.
