Multi-horn case for Adams F1 flugelhorn

mattdalton

I have an Adams F1 flugelhorn with the smaller (6” or 150mm) of the bells they offer on that model. I am looking to get a multiple horn case that fits it plus a Bb trumpet, for those times where it’s not practical to carry the flugelhorn in its own case.

A couple of options I’ve been considering are the Protec IPac triple and the Raw Brass RB Junior. (I want to stay in the size range of these cases for a couple reasons, so no quad cases.) Both seem like they should work based on published interior measurements, but I can’t be sure. Is there anyone out there with an F1 that can confirm it fits safely within either of those cases?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Matt

Mattt, do you want a case for local running around or for flights?
How protective should it be?

For running around locally mostly.

I also have the Adams F1 with the large bell and I use the Gard trumpet/flugelhorn case with wheels and collapsible handle. Mine is Cordura, but it is also available in leather. It's beautifully made and it offers great protection, all at a very reasonable price. I have had it for two years, use it on a regular basis, and it has held up very well.

I had good luck with my Gard Mid-Suspension Trumpet & Flugelhorn bag.

I have an MG Leatherwork double case. They've changed their marketing, but in the old marketing it used to show an A8 and I think an F2 fitting comfortably in the bag. I have an A4 with a 5.5" and a Yamaha flugelhorn with a 6" bell, and they fit comfortably, with room to fit a couple mutes on top, and slip an iPad in the sidewall compartment.

It's a great bag for around town, though I wouldn't fly with it, I don't think. It's not as bomber at a Gard, but it's a little more user friendly for day to day use. I use it even if I don't bring the flugel, to carry extra mutes and water and such. I bought mine off Etsy a year or two ago, though I think Trent started carrying them at ACB.
