Looking for a durable and light triple-quad case

Ignas

Hello!
I am loking for hard shell and durable trumpet triple or quad case (my budget is ~400 eur). Do you have any recommendations, suggestions?

(Does anyone know are, stomvi - tortajada- musical bags are the same brand ? Because it looks the same..)

Or maybe you have any experience with these cases ?

The Stomvi quad is the Musical Bags quad case, imported to the USA and rebadged. I don't know about La Musa, but it looks the same. It's a good one if you need to change what you carry from day to day, since none of the pads are velcro or permanent. If you always carry the same three horns, you might want something you set up once, which might provide a little more protection—like the Marcus Bonna cases.

Check out the Gard Elite Triple Case. Absolutely stellar craftmanship, quality, and practicality.

I heard that the gard triple is more like a gig bag, and not a case. And I’m looking for a hard case so that if I hit the case anywhere (accidentally) the instruments stay safe. I would certainly go with the stomvi quad case, but the shippment to Lithuania from USA its tricky.. (customs and shippment..) this adds an extra 300 - 400 eur..

I have the Marcus Bonna Quad case and it is the best case I have ever seen regarding balance of weight and protection. Within I carry a large Van Laar Flugelhorn, a trumpet and a piccolo ... everything is secured and safe in there, nothing moves or flips around ... the craftmanship is excellent and worth every penny ... I highly recommend it ...

It would be silly to order a case made in Spain, or at least sold by a Spanish company from the US.

There has to be European distribution for these.

The Stomvi Quad can be purchased at a few US online retailers. As you and others mentioned,these are the same cases as tortajada, musical bags, bags of Spain, and likely others.
It’s likely easier to deal with a Thompson music stateside than a Spanish company if you need to return the case for any reason. However, you may save a few dollars ordering directly from Spain (and more interesting color options if you care about looks).

These are solid cases.
