Maxline cases for tuba

Post by bububassboner »

Good day everyone,
Has anyone here bought or used a maxline case for tuba/euphonium? I just heard of this Company and found out they are based real close to me. Wanted to see what people thought before I drove up there.

Thanks

Those look alot like the old style Anvil cases we had at Sixth Army. They are HEAVY and huge. Our Mienl Westen 6/4's had this style of case and we needed two guys to load them. They will protect your horn from just about everything except a bomb or a high bell first drop.

Good spot on this,
I'm a bit closer then Eugene. I'm going to contact them about doing a tapered case for my Martin. I want something bulletproof that will still fit the trunk of my full size car.

I think Anvil is top of the heap on ATA cases. I know they can do a tapered case as well. They're pretty spendy though. Hybrid is another ATA case company on the east coast the has good prices and is very helpful. They'll only do square or rectangle shaped cases though.
