The MTS 1209V Large Frame Tuba Case is designed with protection in mind. The 1209V features a generous foam cradle, covered with a plush velvet lining. The hard plastic shell of the 1209 is lightweight and easy to maneuver because of the wheels located at the bell end of the case. An easy pull handle on the MTS 1209V is located on the opposite end to make it easy to move the case.
