Gig Bags

TheBaker · 05-19-2007, 12:10 PM

I currently have a Ritter (Trumpet) gig bag, which I've been moderately happy with. But it's beginning to wear and some of the stitching is beginning to come undone, so I'm looking at getting a new one and was wondering whether anyone had any recommendations for bags. If possible, it would be nice if the bag had room for at least one mute as well as some music, but I'm not too bothered.

So, any suggestions?

I can recommend u Reunion Blues. Not the cheapest one, but a quality bag.

forget gig bags, get a hard case. Pro-tec makes some fairly lightweight hard case that aren't too expensive.

You know what? I was just about to post and say that, after thinking about it a little more, I'm now thinking that maybe a hard case would be better. Especially since the hard case my trumpet came in has been broken for several months now and I've been using the gig bag as it's "permanent" case.

So what hard cases are worth looking at? It still needs to be fairly small as I'm currently a student and often end up carrying it around all day.

The Pro-Tec ones do look quite tempting, but I'm open to any other suggestions.

I would suggest a Torpedo Bag with the optional mute pouch and music pouch. These cases are INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!! With the extra pouches you can carry hundreds of pages of music and up to 4 or 5 mutes

Torpedo Bags

I'm with BachStrad72....

Get a Torpedo Bag..... they're pricey but it'll last forever. I just got delivery of mine 2 months ago and it is the sh*%!!

The torpedo bags look nice, although I'm not sure whether I could afford one (student budgets aren't huge after all!) Does anyone know whether they ship to the UK, and for how much?

U can also try Marcus Bonna cases. They'r better then Protec cases imo.

Baker,

Pro-tec makes some nice cases at reasonable prices. The torpedoes go for $300 or

All the Best,
