Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:43 pm Post subject: Trumpet Dual Case Help |
|
|
Does anyone know where I can find a dual case for trumpet that also fits a alto or soprano saxophone together in one case?
I am looking to make it easier to travel instead of bringing two and sometimes three separate cases for trumpet and saxophone.
any help is appreciated.

What's your budget and are you planning on carrying that thing around?
You can get Anvil Cases to custom make one for you. It will likely be heavy but you can get a custom case with wheels on it. https://www.calzoneandanvil.com/ _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

That's not the sort of combo that you will find a factory case for. You'll have to explore the custom options that the other posters have mentioned. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet

It may be different for you, but I bought a 2-trumpet case a few years ago thinking it'd save me the hassle of having to carry an extra bag. Surely, my mutes and stand fitted inside (barely) but I noticed I wound up carrying a backpack for uniform/dinner/sheet music/etc. anyway. Being a 2 instrument case, it's often bigger than I'd like when carrying it around and I still carry extra stuff (especially when I also bring my French horn).
So in my case (pun happy accident), I've downsized to a minimalistic 1 trumpet case and I'll carry whatever extra stuff I need seperately. 2-3 smaller bags are easier to carry than 1 big one in my opinion, and you can leave them at home when you don't need them.

This is excellent advice. If you're gonna spend a lot of cash on a custom case, you'll want to be able to use it for as long as possible. It may not be heavy now, but with wheels it'll be future proof. |

Consider making your own case out of a Pelican Case. _________________ --Matt--

For times a bag will suffice. It's truly stunning how much you can fit onto a Protec super triple bag.
Main Compartment
- 3 horns with stands
- Polishing cloth
Mute Compartment
- Pile of mutes (5-6)
Front Compartment
- 3 mouthpieces
- Valve oils, slide greases, silver polish
Rear Compartment
- Water Bottle
- Mouthpiece case with extra slides for the picc
- Felt bags
- Practice mute
Side Compartment
- Pencils/pens
- Stand lights
- Lots of music with dividers
- Clips to hold down music
- Mute holders
Won't help with either an alto sax or a French horn, but I did succeed in reducing 4-5 cases down to one for the vast majority of my playing.
I agree that a Anvil or Pelican customization case is bound to be the best option that doesn't require paying someone to build you an entirely custom case. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."
