Due to the irreparable damage that occured to my Yamaha euph case on my trip to Georgia a few weeks, ago, I'm now in the market for a new flight case for my euphonium. US Airways has agreed to pay up to the amount that my old case was worth ($700) for a new case of my choosing. I have sent out emails to Anvil, Americase, and Opti-Case inquiring about their cases. My question is, have any of you guys out there bouught euph flight cases, and is there anyone else i should contact? Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Cale --
You might want to consider a Walt Johnson case. The price w/be comparable to those you've already mentioned (if not cheaper), and the case will be much more portable.

Unitec makes an extruded case. That's with metal edges and corners. They are ATA approved and are guananteed. I have two of them and have NEVER had dammage since switch to them. Heck the Tuba case is only around $750 the Euph would be much less. They are very easy to deal with and have lots of options for you to choose from.
