Ok,
I have an old horn that I want to retire to a display case because it has some family history....
anyone know where i can order a display case to make it stand on the bottom of the valves and hang on the wall behind glass?
I want it to look like this on the wall - but do not want to dust it...

I can't say I know where to order a display case like that, but that's some impressive ASCII you have going there

you might want to check out these guys.

they have quite variety of cases for collectibles. one of their single item display cases, all glass, the right dimensions for a trumpet, sells for around $115.
another option for you would be a lamp. i had a guy at a local shop make one for me for around $50, shade extra. it features a padded post on the base so you can stand the horn upright without damaging the instrument. mine is all black, with a black shade, which looks great in contrast with the brass horn. _________________ Jim Hatfield

I've been playing around with a similar idea: I want a multi-trumpet display case similar to what people use to display gun collections. Each trumpet would have it's own K&M stand behind the locked glass door. ![](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |
