Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 7:09 pm Post subject: Pocket Trumpet Gigbag/Soft Case |
|
|
I am looking for a small gig bag or soft case for a pocket trumpet. The idea is a bag that is as small as possible that covers the horn. So far my web searches have not been very fruitful.
Anyone have any suggestions? _________________ Bb: Schilke X3L AS SP, Yamaha YTR-6335S

I have a Carol Brass Pocket Trumpet. I got a Guard Mid-Suspension Cornet Gig Bag 503-MSK. At the time, MusiciansFriend had a special, and were selling them for $25.
This bag is somewhat larger than needed, so it may not be exactly what you're looking for. But the added size results in a bit more protection for the horn.

The Carol cloth bags are naturally pretty small. They came with my mini pocket and my C pocket. I think the Bb has a hard case. |

I had the same horn and used the same gig bag as Mike. Worked fine. My biggest trip was to take it to Germany. I insured the horn and put it a gig bag and then in my suitcase. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Thanks for all the answers. pinstriper's solution might be the best for me for now. I just have to find one of those whiskey bags -- Probably means buying a nice bottle of whiskey for Christmas. Hmm ... not a bad idea. _________________ Bb: Schilke X3L AS SP, Yamaha YTR-6335S

There are plenty of non-trumpet bags that would work.
I have mine in a camera bag. There's also fishing/tackle bags I've seen which would suit. This is way cheaper than a dedicated instrument bag. |

I had a Taylor Pocket Rocket Pro pocket trumpet for a number of years. It was hilariously large for a "pocket trumpet," with a 5.25" bell and extremely tall valve cases (made taller by heavy bottom caps). I looked for years, and the only workable case solution I found was a Reunion Blues cornet gig bag -- except it was so much longer than needed that I could carry a harmon mute in the empty space behind the bell bow. With that particular horn I didn't really have to worry about all the empty space, because the large-diameter bell locked into the bell-end seam and the horn wouldn't slide around in the bag.
I've heard/read rumors of Cronkhite cornet bags being special-ordered short, for pocket trumpets. Just tossing that out there. _________________ J. Notso Nieuwguyski |
