Hello everyone.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone in advance for any info they supply.
Does anybody have any info on the Rawbrass quad case.I looked at their site but they don't have enough pictures in my opinion and besides I'd like info before spending the big bucks to get one.
It would be great if I could get some first hand info from someone who has one of these cases.

Are they hard cases ?

I have one of Roger's triple cases. It's actually the trumpet/flugel model. The workmanship is moderate, although it looks as though the Quad case is quite a bit different. The one I have is built into a gutted flight suitcase, with extra reinforcement the whole way around.

After taking the case on one trip, I was forced to send it back to him to fix some problems that I felt shouldn't have been an issue had enough care been taken in the first place.

I would recommend two different options.... Wolfpak being one. I now use the tpt/flugel fastpak one.

The other option, and far superior to any case I've EVER seen is the http://www.trumpetguy.com flight cases. They're heavy, and a little spendy. They are absolutely indestructible, or as close as you will ever get in a case. Not only are the cases great, but Ken Butler is an absolute prince of a man, and you can rest assured that you will get what you ask for in the agreed upon time frame. He's about as true a 'tell it like it is' guy as there is. Check 'em out!
