The Messina Covers are nice looking bags, but not rigid enough for what I'm looking for.
I think that I may have to save some pennies and go for the Torpedo Coyote - that looks pretty close to what I'm looking for, unless someone has one of the older ProTec Pro Pac doubles they want to sell me.

A few years back I asked Glenn Cronkite to do a custom case for me. I needed a single case that was a bit longer (Conn Vocabell) than an today's typical horns.
He was reasonably priced. Give him a jingle.

Glen has retired. He might still take on a job or two, who knows.

I sure hope that someone takes over from Mr. kronkhite now that he's retiring, and continuke to manufacture these cases to his standards.
Old school manufacturing at it's best! |
We did just that, and made a "practice" single bag yesterday. It looks exactly like his -- same thread, same rivets, same leather, straighter sewn lines  .
It will be up on the Torpedo Bag page in the next week or two, and we'll add the products as we get to them. His current 2-page website is still "his," but will be updated soon with a new site. |

Wiseman or Torpedo. Neither are cheap but both are worth every penny!!! The best cases made in the world. IMHO

I have the iPac double but I would've bought the Coyote if it weren't for the money. I just didn't have it at the time I needed a new case. It makes sense to protect your investment, especially since you'd save that much in repairs.
