Hi everyone,
Just a little curious: If you ride a motorcycle to gigs/rehearsals etc, what kind of case do you put your horns in? _________________ Schilke Soprano Cornet, Beryllium Bell

Cornet or Flugelhorn, a leather Gard gig bag. Trumpet, WolfPak hard-side single case, (the one that the horn slides in at the end of the case). |

I use either my Marcus Bonna quad or my Torpedo Coyote; both offer excellent protection and I can use the same comfortable backpack straps on both...

I use a Torpedo for its protection. However, I am not sure I would recommend it as the the height of the case causes it to bump the back of my helmet. |

When I had a motorcycle I just used my Reunion Blues single leather bag. I even road to a gig from LA to Las Vegas once (but the rest of my stuff including the mutes went in the tour bus). Thinking back, I probably stowed my horn in the bus as well on that one. |

Cheers people!
I was toying with the idea of customising a Pelican case that I could attach to the back of the bike. Any experience in trying that approach? _________________ Schilke Soprano Cornet, Beryllium Bell
