I will never buy another Protec product again. I bought their triple gig bag and within a year it had fallen to pieces. This was just with regular travel in my car to college.

I talked to my music store about it and they gave me a discount on a Marcus Bonna triple. That was 4 years ago and the case is still in beautiful condition. It holds any combination of horn I need, plus my mutes, although if I have my trumpet and flugel in the triple, I wrap my mutes in a t-shirt so they don't scratch the flugel or dent it.
It really is about getting what you pay for. A Protec is nice and cheap, but it costs that much for a reason.
