I've had Walt's case made for Flip Oakes Wild Thing - and I have to agree; he put out a superb case. His trumpt/Flugel is a treasure. :) Congrats for having one. Maybe you can leave it in your will to me? :) Thanks for commenting!
Audrey; Thank you for the kind comment. These are the best I've found to date. There are a few others I'd like to get a hold of eventually; a Walt Johnson single, etc. But nice case can be VERY expensive - and I'm a budget buyer. Take care and continued best wishes, Jonathan
i use the the yamaha double case for a b flat and an e flat/d trumpet, the extra holes i use for the extra valve slides and tuning slide which changes the key of the horn for my eflat/d trumpet
Thanks for the review! If you turn the lid pocket backwards (it's velcro'd), your stuff won't fall out when you open the pocket to grab your mouthpiece. Don't know if that makes sense. It's also made from high density pressed fiberboard. You mentioned "plumbing," like, maybe PVC, but that would be HEAVY. This guy is just under 6 pounds = less than average.
Close, I'd think, but perhaps a bit long. Here's a listing for the bag in fabric, at 25" it may be a bit long. Seems like I used it on a plane once as a carry on but it might not fit in a small plane. It's a soft bag - I sure wouldn't check it with brass inside - not under any circumstances. For a bag to carry, as I used it for years, it was fantastic. Anyway, here's a listing for a new protec triple trumpet bag - just like mine but in fabric. www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/protec-c248-deluxe-triple-trumpet-bag
If the flugel is small bell (6 inches or less) I think it would. If you go to the protec site I think they have examples of instruments in the different bags.
Very carefully, David, and I would not want to toss the case around when I did. I set the trumpet on one outside portion. I set the flugel the opposite way on the opposite outside portion with a cornet between the two. It's a very tight fit but it did work when I was extremely careful with the case. While some cases are sold as a "3" they're really a 2.5 - for safety reasons. Still, I have used it as above and, when treated with care, could do so again. If I traveled a lot and wanted to do so with extreme care for my instruments, I'd want a more secure case. I also think any flugel with a bell larger than 6 inches would be almost impossible as described above; especially when considering the well being of the horns.
I’m very late, but do you know where I can find cases that carry a horn and have a separate pocket to put my music books in? Thanks! And great video! : )
I got mine used at TrumpetHerald.com where I get most of my stuff. :) Here's the website but they are pretty expensive new. I've seen used ones at Ebay, too... torpedobags.com/
Jonathan Milam Hey, Do I need A case for a certain type of trumpet, because I have a student trumpet but I don't know what to do about it because I'm confused
Kayraxex _ most trumpet cases will fit most trumpets, there is no “specific” one unless you are trying to carry around a piccolo trumpet or maybe a rotary trumpet. But most cases will also fit flugelhorns as well as your standard Bb trumpet, Eb/D Trumpet, C Trumpet, Bb Cornet, Eb Cornet (if you are feeling extra jazz-y), etc.
I usually get my used Yamaha double cases when I buy used trumpets, but I think they usually sell between $50 and $150. Seems like they retailed for around $225 or so. If you can get a used one for around $70 in good shape, I think you'd have a nice case. I believe the Yamaha double that I showed on my video is considerably lighter than a Bach Artisan double; the beauty of the Yamaha case is that it is quite small and very light. If I was looking for protection in a double case I probably would go with the Artisan, but I really like the Yamaha for its ease in carrying; it's quite light and small. Hope this helps!
Ever owned a Getzen Eterna? They have extremely nice cases (at least the cornet which I have access too), I'm sure the trumpet case is similar. And do you have any "classical" cornet with the sheperds crook?
Hello, I have recently acquired a yamaha tr-8335RS which has a leather case like the one in this video. It has a hard structure and is listed as a double case, but there is just a large compartment and no divider between where you would put both trumpets. Upon testing it myself with 2 Bflat horns, they do touch each other during normal travel and that seems a little iffy to me. Are there any dividers or other products like that I can buy to put between the two trumpets? Thank you very much.
We'll, I have seen dividers for sale when the exterior of an old case is worn out. If you visit " Trumpetherald.com " there is a Marketplace where many, many items are sold between trumpeters. I've bought horns, mouthpieces, cases and more there. After joining (no cost) and making 5 posts or comments there you may place an advertisement there at no charge, like "WTB (wanted to buy) divider/partition for Yamaha double case". Also, Trumpetmaster.com is quite similar. Or you may contact Yamaha directly or through a local music store. Hope this helps; the case I great but certainly better with that partition. Sorry I don't have an extra.
I found mine used at TrumpetHerald.com in the Marketplace but I've seen them at Ebay as well; both new and used there. And a lot of Music stores carry Protec cases.
I usually have about 4 or 5 mouthpieces that I use. Some for mellow sound, some for upper range and some for solo work, etc. I generally have 10 or 15 others laying around that I try to check out occasionally. Sometimes I'll try a new brand to see how it works. Really though, it only takes one good mouthpiece to get the job done. The rest are just for exeperimenting.
Ryan O'Connell.. LINKED COMMENT said, "Hello, I'm looking at potentially buying a hard shell case for traveling. Any places you know of where I can get that same Yamaha double case? Thanks, and great video!" Ryan; Thanks for the kind comment. I'm allergic to buying new trumpets and accessories so... I do buy (and sell) on Ebay quite a bit. I've also bought and sold quite a bit at TrumpetHerald.com. I don't use TrumpetMaster.com as often (less pics) but that's a similar site. Lot's of trumpet folk buying, selling and doing forum stuff at both places. I've both bought and sold the Yamaha double cases at TrumpetHerald and Ebay, incidentally. I know there was a new (looks leather but I think it's faux leather) Yamaha double case at TrumpetHerald earlier this week, it might have sold. Anyway, that's where I get a lot of the stuff I do video's on. Good luck!
Oh, Ryan; if you purchase one of the newer Yamaha double cases (the ones that are faux leather) they also have a little pocket on the outside where you can store some valve oil, a few more mouthpieces, maybe a small trumpet stand. That's the only drawback to the Yamaha double case show here - NO place (if you've got two horns inside) to store anything more than 2 mouthpieces (unless you use the small 'stand in bell' type of trumpet stand. Again, good luck looking something! Let us know what you find and how it works for you, ok?
Benedict; Greetings. Price of these? Good question. For store prices you'll need to google them. Used; if you get the Protec in leather for $110 or so that's a good price. For the Yamaha Double, used - $70 - 85 would be good. For the Torpedo; I think $100 would be a great price. You can always check Ebay for used cases, TrumpetHerald.com or TrumpetMaster.com Have a great year, Benedict!
Hello, I'm looking at potentially buying a hard shell case for traveling. Any places you know of where I can get that same Yamaha double case? Thanks, and great video!
Excuse me Jon, but do you have sweaty hands? (Not trying to be rude) At 6:20, when you are showing us the Torpedo Classic, it looks like there is raw brass on the Bach Strad's valve casing. Just to be sure, you should get a valve guard, IF your sweat eats through silver. Just saying.
+James Ellis Thanks but, no. My hand/body oils are not corrosive. Almost all of the horns that I purchase are used however and several have had wear to the finish as you noticed. That's one reason I never choose silver-plated horns except as a last resort. Removing lacquer isn't too hard; removing the silver-plating is dangerous and costly.
Jonathan Milam Ah. I see. Thanks for the clarification :) . I remember my private instructor saying I needed to get a valve guard because I have sweaty hands. I'm glad my mom and I chose the Yamaha valve guard on wwbw.com. And I'm very pleased with it :)
I"m really lucky - and glad - that my hands don't sweat. I used to get cotton-mouth so bad I could hardly move my tongue. Bad nerves when I started playing in public. Long ago and hilarious - Now that I can look back on it from a period of many years. :) But I never have had sweaty hands - and many, almost all of my vintage horns that are yellow in color, are bare/raw brass.
I have Walt Johnson’s 1st prototype Trumpet/Flugal case. Bought it off him in 1987 at a master class in Los Angeles. Great case.
I've had Walt's case made for Flip Oakes Wild Thing - and I have to agree; he put out a superb case. His trumpt/Flugel is a treasure. :) Congrats for having one. Maybe you can leave it in your will to me? :) Thanks for commenting!
This is a great video., Often case information is left out of the equation when looking for an instrument. Very Cool !! Thanks for posting.

Great info - thanks for posting. :) Pardon my terminology - the bag is excellent and I do hope my high estimation of it conveys.
is the Protec triple bag small enough to take as a carryon on a plane?
Close, I'd think, but perhaps a bit long. Here's a listing for the bag in fabric, at 25" it may be a bit long. Seems like I used it on a plane once as a carry on but it might not fit in a small plane. It's a soft bag - I sure wouldn't check it with brass inside - not under any circumstances.

Anyway, here's a listing for a new protec triple trumpet bag - just like mine but in fabric. www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/protec-c248-deluxe-triple-trumpet-bag
the protec bag would it fit a flugel a trumpet and a picc?
If the flugel is small bell (6 inches or less) I think it would. If you go to the protec site I think they have examples of instruments in the different bags.
thanks i picked one up today!
How do you configure the inside to fit all three in there?
Very carefully, David, and I would not want to toss the case around when I did. I set the trumpet on one outside portion. I set the flugel the opposite way on the opposite outside portion with a cornet between the two. It's a very tight fit but it did work when I was extremely careful with the case.

Thanks for your response. I'll see what I can do, already I can see a few options just from looking for a few minutes. Thanks!
Just showing horns and case close up is appreciateed!
Akira; thank you! It's always good to hear what people like, I appreciate it! :)
How can I buy the protec
I found mine used at TrumpetHerald.com in the Marketplace but I've seen them at Ebay as well; both new and used there. And a lot of Music stores carry Protec cases.
Trumpet bag Yamaha Zeno strap 2 Trumpet Can be added things inside the bag
How many mouthpieces do you have?
It seems like too much, but I'm not very experienced so I don't know much
I usually have about 4 or 5 mouthpieces that I use. Some for mellow sound, some for upper range and some for solo work, etc. I generally have 10 or 15 others laying around that I try to check out occasionally.

Or you could just use the electro chemical cleaning process to remove sulfur content from silver or silver plated instruments. C:
Nah. I don't like chem cleaning. it might damage the finish. I'd prefer using a Protec or Yamaha valve guard.
