OK, the trigger has been pulled. With my Getzen cornet being redone in gold plate to match the Eclipse medium red that is on order from Leigh, I'm going to be needing a good case to carry the two horns in. Checked with our "local" music supplier and they can get me the Vax case for $225 Cdn including shipping. Since it lists at $199 US, that represents about a 25% discount from "List" to "Retail" with exchange and shipping in the mix.

They're giving me a 3 to 4 week delivery... we'll see. I'll be letting y'all know what this case looks like once it's received.

By the way.. if ANYONE is interested, I got an email from Joe Gaspar at Dillons. They're selling a used Wiseman "double" case c/w all the straps and dividers for $300 US (about $500 Cdn once packing, shipping, exchange, etc. is included). A little too much for my blood or needs but for a gigging pro.......I'd be on that Wiseman like stink on a skunk.

I've posted before about how much I like the Torpedo Bag... it will still be used when I only need to carry a single trumpet "out of the house"; you just can't beat the protection that thing provides unless you're paying 3X the money.
