Mute bag

I have a Torpedo classic with the mute bag clipped on it. The case is great, but the mute bag is literally a nylon bag with no protection whatsoever. Are there mute bags that are padded or have a sturdy exterior so the mutes don't get dented if the case gets hit or jostled around?

I have used a tool bag for years. The one I use is a specialty bag from a particular supplier that was given to me at a workshop for their product. However, Home Depot and Lowe's along with specialty tool suppliers have a variety of tool bags to choose from. They are sturdy, usually have shoulder straps, are extremely durable, and offer great protection for your contents.

I purchased a protec trombone mute bag after reading reviews here. However, I have found that the bag only does a good job of clumping the mutes, not protecting them.

I now use an empty slot in my triple case to hold my mutes. The intent of the case was to use it for a Bb, C and flugel. But my gigs really don't require a C so I just use that slot for my mutes, etc.

The Protec mute bags are great. They will hold a straight, cup, harmon, plunger, and practice, with some space left over and additional pockets.

I have this ProTec one, though I got it at a discount. It's nice.

My favorite is an old, cheap, camera gadget bag. A heavy duty nylon, the only thing I added was a thin foam layer on the bottom (but it wasn't necessay).

I also have a Protec mute bag, the one with the dividers, which I don't use as often - I find it less flexible, ultimately carries less stuff. When I do use it I often just remove the dividers.

ProTec isn’t a bad choice, but it’s mostly a bag that’s an ideal size for mutes. Mine has started to fall apart.

Though not often, I sometimes needed something with space for more mutes. I picked up a cheap camera bag that works very well. It’s usually more than I need, but it’s light and has moveable dividers. Can even fit a small folder for sheet music/iPad.
