I too have the Continental, and have had several pro tec cases over the years. I think you did a great job describing all the types of cases and their "strengths and weaknesses." Thanks for posting and sharing.
I use the Reunion Blues Continental currently...it can work with lots of combinations which I love! I usually carry my B flat, C, and Flugelhorn all together and it works great! You can also do things like carry any 2 of those horns and mutes.
Hey i got the protec max standard trumpet case thanks to your recommendation. Its great, its got space for my music mutes and other accessories. Its a little big for a single trumpet case but its great for what i need. thanks!
Hi John. First of all salute you from Argentina and I thank you for your didactic and instructive videos. What opinion you have about the British cases of the Fusion brand? From already thank you very much.
You remind me of an old tv commercial for I think it was "Touristor luggage" where they had a gorilla real or fake throwing the luggage around to prove how sturdy it was ...funny commercial.
Looking for a sturdy case for my trumpet and flugelhorn that I can put in the overhead. I think I'm stuck between the Wiseman and the Torpedo Coyote bag. Thoughts?
If you can find a Wolfpac triple case get it. This is a fine case with superior protection. It wont fit over head on every plane but you can gate check it and it will keep your horns safe as long as the plane lands on it's wheels.
Gator are similar to the protect cases. They will protect your horn about the same and the build is similar. If you find one you like I think you will be happy in the long run.
Take a good look at the raw brass if you are looking at bullet proof. The Wiseman, Johnson are in the same league but the raw brass case can be thrown out a building, fall in a river and be recovered with no dents and no water damage. Jon
WOOOOOW!!!! Lol!!!! Thanks alot for making this vid you've made my online case search soooo much easier & entertaining at the same time... (Y) & thank God for internet & youtube cuz i got a hold of your vid all the way from Jamaica.
Hi Jon, I’ve been binging a bunch of your videos the past few days! I’m in the market for an upgraded case OR gig bag right now, as I’ll likely be investing in a C trumpet in the near future and will require (at least) a double case- but I’ve been needing more room for mutes. I’m in high school still and will need something that’ll allow for day-to-day use. I was thinking about the RB Continental Voyager but haven’t seen a whole lot about it online. My second choice would be the Protec iPAC double case. What would you think is best about each? I also have an Eb Cornet that I’ll be using for a couple months that’ll need to carry with me in said case/bag.
nschnitz The project double case it’s just that it’s a double case you’re not going to put mutes inside or a third instrument. I would definitely look at the reunion blues bag. I have had a flugelhorn a B-flat and lots of mucus inside that case. You can also put three instruments inside it. Another bag to consider would be the Guard triple. www.wwbw.com/Gard-Mid-Suspension-Triple-Trumpet-Gig-Bag-H67631-H67631000002002.wwbw?source=TWWR5J1BB&cntry=us¤cy=usd&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Zm_sr3R5QIVNB-tBh2SegamEAQYAiABEgJf3vD_BwE I also think that the Protech triple bag is very much worth looking at. www.amazon.com/Protec-Triple-Horn-Removable-Storage/dp/B0002E569Y
The Wolfpak cases are good cases. It is my information they are not made anymore. The 2.5 is available but it is not like the Torpedo. It utilizes an over under, not side by side design. These cases have to be carefully packed. They are not my favorite design, I think this is why there are so many left. I would look at a something like a ptotec triple with wheels or the Reunion Blues Continental triple bag. Keep in mind you need to be a bit more protective of your instruments in these cases.
Not sure what you are trying to achieve. Locks are fairly useless on trumpet cases as a thief will simply take the entire case. Cases had locks on them back in the day to keep them from accidentally coming open because of the type of laches commonly used at the time. Cases use zippers these days thus solving this issue. If you fly you have to have a lock that the airline can access. You might try a hardware store for ideas. Good luck.
Dude, you're like the Billy Mays of trumpet cases.
This is the first video that I see from your tip's series, very help full recommendations, and very funny as well thanks.

Just throwing them around. Love it.
You make trumpet cases sound very interesting, respect
I try to keep it real. Best, Jon

This is the most stressful video I have ever seen.

supa1kat,
I am glad the case recommendation worked out thanks for posting the outcome.
I was passing out until you tossed that trumpet case off the desk with a flugelhorn still inside, that caught my attention 8^|
+RacinZilla003 Ah the shock and horror :)

Thx mr . Ruff I will keep an eye out
all you've taught me so far is, HOW TO THROW TRUMPET CASES!! lol
+angela thomas Yep and there is a lot more where that came from. Best Jon
Throwing trumpet cases is an art that takes many years to master.
hazuki katou yep!!

Can you do a video about high end mouthpieces
MrTrebleClefs99 Look for a skb-130 trumpet case or if you want a bit more storage look at the Gator GL series both are about $70.
Take a good look at the raw brass if you are looking at bullet proof. The Wiseman, Johnson are in the same league but the raw brass case can be thrown out a building, fall in a river and be recovered with no dents and no water damage.
Jon
What are you thoughts on WolfPak? I'm looking for a 2.5 case and a Coyote is kind of out of the realm of possibility for me.
Pretty indestructable...THUNK!...
(Unlike the Microphone that's just had the diaphragm turned to mush! :)
WOOOOOW!!!! Lol!!!! Thanks alot for making this vid you've made my online case search soooo much easier & entertaining at the same time... (Y) & thank God for internet & youtube cuz i got a hold of your vid all the way from Jamaica.
+Mikel Tucker Glad it helped
Hi mr.ruff I wanted to ask you if you have any suggestions for a case suitable for marching band that can do its job but affordable
where can I get that last one? absolutely the best
+TheHelvetican Ha best to have one made.
+Rufftips don't care about protection... till next time kids
You can get a plastic one at your local grocery store after you take the groceries out of it. Best limited protection you will ever have!

I also think that the Protech triple bag is very much worth looking at. www.amazon.com/Protec-Triple-Horn-Removable-Storage/dp/B0002E569Y
I probably should add that binge watching my videos might be detrimental to your mental health LOL
Rufftips They’re fun and super informative! Your channel’s done lots in educating me on all different kinds of gear that I had no clue even existed.
what are your thoughts on the gator cases?
The Wolfpak cases are good cases. It is my information they are not made anymore. The 2.5 is available but it is not like the Torpedo. It utilizes an over under, not side by side design.

it is a deg or gladstone.
Neat and entertaining video - but audio! Starts loud enough, then goes WAAAY soft...
I like how he threw all the cases except for the wiseman!! Lol
The Wiseman would chip the floor....it broke my big toe when I dropped it out the back of my Ford Expedition onto my foot!
Where can i get the first one
iwzv www.rawbrass.com/content/view/18/35
Looking for a case under $100 USD with a lock. Any recommendations?
Nothing comes to mind right away. I would try used
Rufftips what about a case that you can just throw a lock onto?
Not sure what you are trying to achieve. Locks are fairly useless on trumpet cases as a thief will simply take the entire case. Cases had locks on them back in the day to keep them from accidentally coming open because of the type of laches commonly used at the time. Cases use zippers these days thus solving this issue.

Protec max cases are good and around 100
Now that`s a lotta damage
Are all those cases yours?
Jesse Cohen nope
The way you toss things around honestly stresses me out.
