Trumpet/Flugel Double case

ptynan · 05-26-2007, 10:50 AM

Folks,

I am looking for a compact case that fits a flugel and a Bb. It would be great if it fit in a plane overhead too.

I have been traveling with a Bam single for my Bb, and a RB soft flugel case. Now that the airlines are cracking down on carry-ons I need to combine them.

I want to avoid duck-taping my laptop case to my Bb (this happened to a colleague recently on Air Canada) just to get my flugel on the plane.

Any recommendations?

Hey Paul.
Try a Protec Mike Vax case.
Works very well

Vax case gets my vote as well.
Best,

Mike showed me his case at TMEA. It's time to take a hard look at it. Any others to check out?

Thanks guys.

Marcus Bonna. I believe they make a case that holds a flugel and trumpet.

My blessing doesnt fit in the Vax case, I think it is the only model that doesnt. Guess I need to buy a new flugel

Hi Paul,
I use a Walt Johnson double case but methinks that may be a bit big for the airlines (although I have sent it as checked baggage with no problems). I tried a Vax with my Kanstul-Besson Brevete but the horn is just too big. You might consider an incredibly expensive but beautifully made Wiseman case (www.wisemancases.com). Hope all is going well in your world!

Hi Paul, I initially bought the Wolfpak Trumpet/Flugel with Wheels, but I don't really like the way the Flug sits so I picked up the Mike Vax combo from Long & McQuade here in Toronto and I love it. Holds my Olds flug and fits overhead on a 'normal' Air Canada aircraft or under the seat on the CRJ variants.
