Makes we wonder what the actual measurement is on the 374s, because by sight, it seemed like a larger bell
What he said.
There were 2 horns I liked at the army workshop: the XO and the Eastman. I was trying to stay below $2000 so neither horn was in my range. I was going to save up a bit for the Eastman until "58Mark" purchased a John Packer JP274 for his daughter and I read about the instrument in a post Joe started in 2015:

I bought one, and it is as good as the Eastman, IMHO, at less than half the price (retail).

If these cases are anything like the Eastman cases, I may have to get one. The Eastman case I saw had wheels on it like spinner luggage. The little girl I saw leaving with it seemed to have no problem pushing it around.
