|
|
I'm looking for a Schiller Hard-Shell Single Trumpet case.
I found them on this website. They look well made, but they are out of stock in both stores.
https://www.jimlaabsmusicstore.com/store/schiller-hard-shell-trumpet-case/
Can anyone recommend another dealer for this type, or at least suggest a similar, well made single trumpet case? _________________ Gotta Love Music |

I hope their cases are higher quality than their horns. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet

Poor quality products, I suggest you to try the Getzen case,is very similar and build like a tank.

You might be able to buy a used case of similar quality for the same money with a horn still inside of it. Check second-hand stores and pawn shops. I don't know the deal in Canada, but I'd check around here on facebook marketplace and craigslist too.
Locally, I found a $100 beginner Yamaha horn with case in Buffalo. An $80 unbranded trumpet with case in Rochester. A $50 Conn with a very weird bell with a not-very-good case in Georgetown.
I can't suggest anything else of better quality for the money. My cases were a lot more expensive than that. _________________ Yamaha YTR6345HGS Bb

And a “not very good case”.....hence the banana bell, also known as the “customized for audience covid-protection” bell.😉

What kind of case do you want?
ProTec makes solid cases. Most of them are fabric covered hardshells. The Max case isn't too expensive and works like a traditional case, just cordura or nylon covered. The contoured case is good as well and I have a few multi-horn cases.
Gator is like ProTec, maybe a small step down, but maybe not. Aside from ProTec style cases, they also have a plastic shell hard case.
SKB has both square and contoured style hard shell cases.
You can find any of these on Amazon.
There's a lot more kinds of cases out there, but those are some basics. There aren't a lot of woodcase hardshell old school cases anymore, but Jakob Winter in Germany makes some. They're not cheap, but they're a high quality version of the one you posted initially.
I don't know anything about the Schiller Case you posted, but their horns are of .... variable quality. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet
