ive seen several gig bags that look very functional and reasonably priced, but i dont know that i would feel comfortable keeping my horn in a softbag

just doesnt seem very protective.

Thnx, but imo RB's are much nicer except the double trumpet bag. But mostly they're just copies of RB. :)

I think it mainly depends on your behaviour. They can be protective enough if you don't play baseball with ur bag...

But seriously if u don't trust 'em just buy a torpedo or a marcus bonna case.

They'll hook you up. These cases are really cheap insurance. Besides, this is the last single case you would ever need to buy, rather than Pro-tec, which I have had fall apart on me. Good Luck,

Thanks for setting me straight!! I didn't know that.

How I wish there were a warning signal that prior to saying something that is wrong, incomplete, or would give someone a wrong impression, that signal would go off!!

Thanks Again,

Richard

I've used Gard gig bags for a few years now and I really like them. Currently I'm using a trumpet/flugel wheelie bag. It also comes with backpack straps and an over the shoulder strap. It has a nice sized pouch on the outside for accessories. I got mine at dillon Music in Woodbridge, NJ. You can order from their website too. Other big name stores carry them as well.

I am very careful when I use a gig bag and I still get little pings when I use a gig bag. (I have a triple gig bag and only use it when I need/want 3 horns with me)

Take care about that do not let anything free in your bag... I think those pings could came from a runaway pencil, mouthpiece, etc. If you don't plump down your bag to anything and there're no things that could runaway maybe the UFO's did those pings.

The GIG bag people also make cases, I have one I think it is great, very protective and has lots of room (I am not talking about the flimsy kind they make, those ones are pointless)
they are at woodwind brasswind.
I also have a pro-tec contour it is very protective but not to much room.

if you have the oportunity get Torpedo bag its the best and no other one can be do better. Call Steve you would not be disapointed

Those torpedos offer good protection but the are Big. Leave no room for accessories. And you can only carry one trumpet.
