  | Torpedo Bags Who has a torpedo bag? Any statements you would like to make about them? I really like the brown leather one and was actually thinking about getting one until I found out that they took away the sholder straps (back pack straps) and replaced them with one strap. (I really like the back pack straps). Cheers Eric

 | I got one for my birthday a couple months ago and i really like it. The only think I don't really like is that in order to get the horn in and out of the case, you have to grab the bell and get fingerprints all over it, but its not to big of a deal.

| I also have a Torpedo bag. It really is a great case. I keep my Eclipse MS, a cup mute, tuxedo plaunger, harmon mute, straight mute, pixie mute, Hamilton trumpet stand (brokeb in two), 3 mouthopiece case, valve oil, business cards, Leatherman and reading glasses case all in the mute pouch and in the cover storage. Plus it is super strong. I also keep my horn in a satin bag. That eliminates the finger prints when you remove it. I would recommend it.   -cw-

 | At first, when my friend Steve said he was going to produce this bag, I thought he was nuts. 'There are too many bags on the market. It won't sell.' I said. Boy has he proven me wrong. Great bag and great design. One of the only gig bags I know of that you can feel comfortable checking it in for luggage handling at the airlines. I don't own one right now, as I got my bag right when Steve was starting to make these, so am not in need, yet. This is definitely my next gig bag purchase. Don't hesitate one iota in making the purchase.

| Is it comfortable to "wear"? I heard that they took away the back pack straps and added just one sholder strap. I would think that the back back straps would be more comfortable. Is there a way to get a leather one with these back pack straps? Eric

I am a Torpedo Bag dealer. The leather bags are made to order. You could probably get it any way you would want. It is the most protective trumpet case I have ever seen. While dealers can get you a leather bag, the best idea would be to go directly to GMP and ask them if a leather bag with straps is possible -- and how much. www.torpedobags.com It will be the last trumpet case you will probably ever need for a single trumpet.
