| Anyone figured out how to stop the vax case from falling forward when loaded with 2 horns? It's especially bad if you add the mute bag. I thought I might have an upholstry shop add longer front legs but they seem to think it would damage the case. |

Mine only tips if I put something heavy in the pocket.
I think you're right that longer "legs" would fix the problem.

Hi there,
You should contact the folks at Protec (I think you can reach them via their website, www.ptcases.com) and let them know that you've had problems with that. They may either have a suggestion for a solution, or want to take it into consideration as they continue making the bag. I've spoken to them several times on behalf of customers, and they're always very willing to help. Hope this is useful! |

Thanks for the input: So far ProTec has only said they will refer the question to their"R and R" department. If any of you have had similar "tipping" over problems let them know.
Thanks

I've been having the same problem, especially when leaving the bar. I just seem to tip over. I dont think lengthening my legs is gonna help.
