I'm asking for recommendations for a good trumpet/flugelhorn combo case. I have a beautiful leather Cronkhite triple, which I love. I also live in the suburbs of Washington DC, and I need a hard case when taking my horns on the Metro. In addition, I often have to walk several blocks once I get into DC, so a case with wheels is a must. The flugel (an Inderbinen) has a big bell, and I want to be able to safely lay it on its side in the case. I'm not interested in stacking it, or having it stored on an angle.

I once had a Walt Johnson combo, which was awesome (i only wish it had wheels). Anyway, I'm in the market for something specific, and I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Would you be open to strapping the case onto a luggage cart? If you still have the Walt Johnson case that could be a possible solution.

Have you considered a Wiseman? A little on the pricy side, but they're pretty light, and could probably be ordered with wheels if you wanted. The only other cases I can think of off the top of my head are the Torpedo 2.5 and the ProTec Mike Vax Trumpet+flugel case. Both can be ordered with wheels as far as I know.

I'm in Boston and take my horns on the subway and I like the PRO-PAC 2019 with shoulder straps. I prefer strapping the case to my back rather than wheeling it -- I actually find it easier and I like having the horns strapped to me. I feel safer from a snatch and grab. It's got a top handle too for when you're getting in and out of the subway or sitting (if you can find a seat).

Here it is on Amazon for $135.
