I bought this case so I could take my horn on international flights, and it worked well even when I was unable to take it with me. On at least one entire flight, it was loaded into the hold and neither the case nor the instrument were harmed. For the money, this is a good and strong case!

I purchased this case since I was tired of my hard case banging up against my knee. Fortunately, I don't have that issue anymore, and even if this case does bump against my knee when I carry it by the handle (I frequently carry a backpack for school), it doesn't hurt. I particularly adore the straps on the backpack.The following are its advantages: -light -sufficiently protective for its price/size (you shouldn't throw it on the ground or something, but it guards against regular bumps and bangs)a pocket for music (or food)-backpack straps -a tiny pocket on the front of the main pocket where you may place a tuner or some pencils --shoulder strap (although I've never used it) -a microphone bag is simple to attachThe mouthpiece gradually develops a permanent rim around it when you use the mouthpiece holder (I've given a picture). The internal padding is composed of polystyrene, which cracks/breaks very readily.Images: 1. the case after using it for around 6 months (you'll also see my mute bag)the rim of my mouthpiece, second

I was going to spend $525 on a Marcus Bonna MB-8 after pledging never to fly with the default flat case from my 8D once more. Then I noticed this new style from Pro Tec that is remarkably comparable and costs about half as much. My initial thoughts are quite favorable! It includes a variety of carry choices (top handle, side handle, shoulder strap, or optional backpack straps), is fairly lightweight (particularly given it's made of wood rather than fiberglass), and has a versatile interior design. It includes a drawstring bag for a straight mute, a zippered bag for a stop mute, and a pouch for three mouthpieces (all are movable within the case). The front zippered music pouch is generously sized, and easily fits a few full-size music folders, a notebook, and a bag of other miscellaneous tools and stuff. There is also a soft removable base that sits under the bell flare and sandwiches it against the lid to protect it from anything loose that might be rolling around in the case. Although I have to be careful when opening the lid since the bell flare base does occasionally snag on it, putting the horn in and taking it out is rather simple thanks to a velcro strap holding the body in place.I'm eagerly anticipating my first vacation with this one for once!Pros:- Lightweight despite having a significantly more robust construction than the standard 8D flat casing.- Comes with stop mute and straight pouches.- The large zippered music pouch may accommodate many full-size music folders as well as other items.- Numerous carrying possibilities- The adjustable backpack straps are quite comfy.- Lots of space for tools, mutes, etc.- Excellent bargainCons:- May require some effort to open or close (handle closure velcro, case flap velcro, two zippers).- The vertical position has a slight tendency to topple over (stands upright on its own with the feet, but on the short side does so *very* easily).UPDATE:Even after traveling with this case, I still adore it. For navigating the airport and other forms of transit, the backpack straps and shoulder strap were a blessing. The straps are great for getting to and from the car, but I had originally planned to take them off when I wasn't traveling with it (as they make it a little tippy to load/unload when the horn body isn't weighing it down). No gate check for me! It fit nicely in the little overhead of a smallish puddle-jumper plane, as well as the overhead shelves of the shuttle buses I took. ProTec, way to hit the ball out of the park!

like - very small, one of the finest choices for cabin luggage on airplanes. Thank you to Amazon for the excellent pricing and good protection, the tight fit that helps to provide protection, and the "bell hat" that I enjoy (not a gig bag, but a hard shelled case) This case has a really elegant appearance. spacious outside pocket for a laptop or music folder. Dislike: interior velcro straps on the removable mouthpiece bag are a little confusing, and the outer long shoulder strap shown in the picture was not supplied. No space for silence, rigid inside accessory compartments, strangely formed. Would have preferred an open place with a velcro pouch (however an open space would work for a stop mute). The case is quite hefty, therefore players of the geyer and hoyer should use caution. My lawson with a clebsch strap has to be wiggled in. Orange stitching is silly-looking. A large music folder can fit in the exterior pocket, but it won't completely enclose it.

The case is decent for the money.PROS: The case's body is highly sturdy and capable of withstanding the majority of hits. Two mouthpiece slots are located inside. It is deep enough to fit triple horns and spacious enough for larger horns like my Finke Americus, but it could be too big for smaller wraps. Because it is soft, the internal lining won't harm your horn's finish. Both the handles and the zippers are incredibly strong and comfortable.CONS: I wish the main compartment could be more customized; some velcro pads could assist fill in the empty spaces. The case's accessory pocket, which is located outside, is inadequate. It could carry a far wider assortment of accessories if it extended straight down from the point to form a triangular wedge shape.SYNOPSIS: Having an extra or spare case like this is an excellent idea. Additionally, it would make a fantastic case for a student horn or less expensive instrument whose value might not be high enough to warrant the cost of a high-end case. It DOES offer reliable protection, but it can't compete with some of the pricier cases available.

In this situation, a single German or Japanese horn in Bb or F will work perfectly. I just have one Hoyer, and while it is snug, that is exactly what I intended to prevent the instrument from moving. It fulfils my requirements perfectly. Due to the narrower wrap, any compensatory horn will also fit.I don't require a hard case because I am an adult professional. You SHOULD NOT use this instance if you require protection. If you or the musician are worried about protection, spend an extra $100. Having said that, this is one of the stronger soft cases I've seen.The $50 is well spent on it.

S. Shawn FotiAfter using a soft gig bag-style case for many years, I bought this one. This case includes plenty of plush padding and room for many different horn wraps. A sturdy timber frame is used to build the frame. I especially appreciate the roomy side pocket where I can store tools, oils, pencils, grease, and other items. There are two mouthpiece holders on the inside. The bag has a wonderful (pleasant) shoulder strap but is a little weighty. I'm overjoyed about this purchase. Any horn player wishing to save their very pricey horn will love this case. I was considering Gator bags and Eastman bags because I have a fixed bell horn. I'm very happy I went with ProTec. They produce top-notch goods for musicians. Without hesitation, I would advise.

My Finke Descant horn's new case was delivered to me yesterday. I'm happy to report that my horn fits in it just right!It appears to be made of durable, long-lasting materials, but I won't be able to confirm that until I've used it for a while. The storage area on the outside of the horn is my favorite feature. The storage area has compartments for pencils, a zippered mouthpiece bag, a tablet computer, music, and it can fit both a normal and a brass stopping mute.The case's EXTERIOR measurements are as follows: (I measured this with my own ruler; it is not an official measurement from the manufacturer. I make no assurances regarding its correctness.) The case's longest dimension along the bottom is 23.5 inches. That is the lengthiest measurement of the horn, measured from the mouthpipe's end to the bottom of your horn bell. The casing is 18 inches long from top to bottom along the side facing the bell. The bell has a 14.5-inch diameter. If your horn is less than those dimensions, it should fit because those dimensions should include the longest and largest components of any horn. I hope this is useful to anyone else who wants to check sure their horn fits!The handles and backpack straps appear to have a long lifespan and won't rip the cloth. Again, this is based just on a cursory look. The innovative manner the backpack straps are tucked into a pocket to keep them out of the way and from dangling outside the case when not in use especially appeals to me.The case's cushioning makes it ideal as a gig bag. The horn could not withstand being dropped from a high building or being hit by a cement block, but I don't intend to put it to either of those tests. With regular vigilance and awareness on the part of the user, it appears to protect the horn.We appreciate the well-thought-out design of the horn casing.
