Beautifully made of glass fibre, kevlar & carbon fibre.

Nice looking case!

What does it weigh?

Was it custom fit for that horn or did your horn fit an existing size that they make?

The case is a wonderful shaped tight fit for the 11" bell Willson and similar models, with no movement inside.

Larger bell model cases are also available, also a choice of colours of the rainbow for interior/exterior.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Our new range of Triple Composite Cases combine layers of Glass fibre, Kevlar and Carbon fibre weaves, more commonly used in Automotive, Marine and Aerospace technologies.

The combination of these materials produces a stronger, more durable, lightweight alternative to standard ABS cases and makes them suitable to be used as flight cases for internationally travelling musicians or for general day to day use.

Hand crafted in the UK by our experienced team of case makers, each case is available in a multitude of colours and accommodates a wide range of instrument sizes.

Integrity and a passion for our products are fundamental to our work. We only use the highest quality materials and spend great care and attention ensuring each case is manufactured to the highest possible standard.


CASE FEATURES

The cases are lined with dual density foam covered by luxurious velvet fabric which allows the instrument to fit very snuggly within the case without any risk of damage by movement. There is also a mouthpiece holder and storage box inside for any small accessories.

The trim is a hard rubber male/female locator trim which seals each case tightly with the aid of nickel plated steel drawbolt catches. We also put on a steel padlockable latch for extra security.

Each case has strong, nickel plated, plastic handles for easy carrying and also D-rings for the use of a shoulder strap. We put hard rubber strips on the bell curves for extra protection which along with the trim will be available in a range of colours in the near future allowing you to customise your case even more.

We currently have EEbTuba, Euphonium, Baritone Horn, Tenor Horn and Trumpet cases available. EbTuba, Trombone, Cornet, Tenor Sax and Alto Sax are among the other cases which will be available in the near future.


PRICES
The prices are as follows:-
Trumpet Case - £149.00
Tenor Horn Case - £209.00
Baritone Horn Case - £229.00
Euphonium Case - £249.00
Eb Tuba Case - t.b.c

Our website should be online by the end of february and will have a full breakdown of dimensions and weights.
