SODIAL(R) New Tenor Trombone Gig Bag Lightweight Case Black Review:


I adore this purse. Yes, it's inexpensive, but if all you're after is a lightweight way to transport your instrument (probably best for a small-bore jazz horn) from your bedroom or practice space to the event, this will do. Additionally, the bag is around six inches shorter than the majority of gig bags and soft cases, which lowers its profile even further. Additionally, you can fold it and store it just about anyplace throughout the gig. Even if the material doesn't provide much padding or protection, the slide pouch is independent of the bell bag, which is sufficient if you intend to set the horn on a stand as soon as you get at the gig. The only thing I would change is to add a little zippered pouch just about anyplace on the bag's exterior. However, for less than $20, I can barely find fault with the features. Although I don't think the bag will last, I'll just get a backup or two at this price. I only truly need it.



Protec MX306CT Tenor Trombone (F-Trigger or Straight) Case Review:


I recently started playing trombone again, and I still remember how much I cherished my Protec case. I therefore purchased this new edition without any hesitation.This case is excellent, and it's reasonably priced. Without a doubt, I'd advise it. There are a couple aspects about it that aren't great though.The large side pockets are nice. Elastic straps are used to firmly shut the inside pockets. It's strange that Amazon claims this case is usually bought with the strap separately because it comes with backpack straps. I like the extra one on top, and the grips are cozy.The inclusion of a mouthpiece bag or case is a great touch.The backpack straps are convenient, but I would like they were an option rather than being permanently connected. Since I almost ever use them, they only add bulk. It would be amazing if the flap that covers them could be used to hold a tbone stand if it were a little looser.I like to use the shoulder strap that is provided. In the case of the previous version, I can still recall being annoyed by how the strap fastened, making it difficult to open the case. The strap runs from one side's bottom to the other's top. Although the strap runs diagonally across the aperture when you open the case, I think this is the best method to distribute the weight. Nothing serious.The case's interior caught me off guard a tiny bit. My last one, I believe, had a blue interior, whereas this one is all black. This may seem little, but the blue background made it simpler to notice objects than the black one did. Additionally, it is rather rigid inside, which defies logic. The cushioned flap used to hold the slide in place is missing. Instead, only one strap holds it. In fact, the strap is a bit too long, meaning that to hold my 3b slide in place, I need to strain the strap so far that there's very little Velcro to utilize. That said, there a "slot" that the bottom of the slide slides into so your slide won't be bouncing around.I also believe that the overall size is a tad big for my tenor trombone. This case has the capacity to fit a range of sizes however I think the smaller horns get deprived of a precise fit.I'm keeping this case. The pluses surely exceed the minuses.If I were doing more traveling I might look for something else that truly snuggly secures the horn, but I'm typically carrying it myself or its in a car trunk so I think the horn is safe.



Protec PL239 Platinum Series Tenor Trombone Gig Bag Review:


To replace my Protec gig bag that was 15 years ago, I purchased the Protec PL239. My Bach 42B with the closed wrap F attachment fits inside this with ease, and it appears that there is room for the open wrap as well. My 12.9" iPad Pro, which wasn't available when I bought my first Protec bag, fits comfortably in the music pocket. I carry two brass mouthpieces, but there is only room for one in the pocket directly to the right of the music pocket. This is the only item I wish was different. I tried inserting the other mouthpiece, but it just rolled about. I do carry a third mouthpiece, but it is a plastic Kelley that I store in the case's own bag along with my water bottle, mouthpiece brush, toothbrush, and toothpaste.My 15-year-old Protec gig bag was significantly heavier than this new one, partly because the former case's interior was constructed of wood whereas the latter is not. Therefore, if you have been carrying around those older wooden cases, you will adore this bag.When I travel with my instrument, I still use my old bag because the new one does not offer quite the same protection, but it does seem to keep it pretty safe—just not enough to fit in the baggage hold of an airplane.



Crossrock CRA860TBBL Trombone, Contoured ABS Molded Hard Shell Case with Padded Strap in Blue Review:


I will gladly write the first review as I got this case without any prior ones.My King 3B is the main reason I bought this case. I was looking for a good fiberglass shell that would securely fit a tiny horn (the thought of my trombone shaking around in a case really bugs me, so this was very important). Happy to report that this case accomplishes that! Additionally, it can accommodate my Bach 42bo.I like this case for the following reasons: - It is BEAUTIFUL. I adore the way it appears, but I will be disappointed to receive my first scratch. Hey!- excellent construction. It appears to be quite well made and strong. The leather handles are a great addition, and the latches are nicely secure.- I made reference to the snug fit for my King 3b. It features foam padding that can be moved around to "customize" the fit, which you can see in my photos. I may not agree with some individuals, but I do. Additionally, the slide compartment is quite secure.However, there is something, and it's actually sort of funny. Be prepared for some noise if you decide to switch from utilizing the backpack straps to carrying it by your side. The sound of the metal strap clips slamming into the case's hard shell is reminiscent of a frantic game of pool played at maximum volume.Although I was first hesitant to spend $300 on a case, I'm glad I did. Truly, trombone cases are VERY expensive, and this is a mid-range cost for a premium item. Definitely suggestable!!!



Protec MX309CT Bass Trombone MAX Contoured Case Review:


Because I read on the Q



Andoer 600D Water-resistant Trombone Gig Bag Oxford Cloth Backpack Adjustable Shoulder Straps Pocket 5mm Cotton Padded for Alto/Tenor Trombone Review:


Product works as intended, but I would only suggest using it for students or young children. I don't care if the trombone gets dented because it is an older trombone that is being utilized for this. However, I would not suggest this as a professional travel case. There is only a little cushioning to guard against major knocks, but it was adequate for the purpose. This accomplished my goal of giving my fourth-grader a lighter case to transport to and from school. The backpack feature also performs admirably.



Pro Tec C239P Trombone Gig Bag for Pbone Review:


This is a great use for a pBone. It has my whole satisfaction. Buyers should be aware that this case is ONLY for a plastic trombone like the pBone, Tromba, or a similar model. A genuine brass instrument cannot be protected by it because it lacks cushioning. Other great light-weight containers by Protec are made to handle a real brass trombone.



Pro Tec Gig Explorer Series Tenor Trombone Bag with Sheet Music Pocket (C239X) Review:


For my middle schooler, this is the ideal case. He is able to move it around because it is lightweight and has a variety of grips. It provides enough cushioning for daily trips to and from school. properly fits a student trombone. even has a place for his score cards and music book.The fact that there is a pouch for the slide was the deciding factor in our purchase. In other situations, the foam would become sloppy and the slide would run into the bell.



Pro Tec MX306CTS Straight Tenor Trombone MAX Case - Contoured Review:


Excellent lightweight case for moving a straight tenor trombone about town for performances. The built-in backpack straps are quite helpful. The ProTec cases I currently own are excellent.Due to the two accessory storage compartments inside the case being so shallow, one star is deducted. The one adjacent to the horn won't even fully close when a mouthpiece and case are placed inside of it. Only the one next to the tuning slide has enough room for a bottle of RapidComfort. I have to store my trombone stand and spray bottle in the exterior zipper compartment.
