2 Horn Case |
New from Marcus Bonna is 2 horn
case. This tank will fit two full size cut bell French horns. Yes,
two horns, you heard me correctly. I can see you are puzzled... why
you ask, a 2 horn case? Why not, carrying two horns on the gig
can be fun. And a cool feature on this case is its ability to come
apart in the middle, making this nifty contraption into 2 single
French horn cases. You have some options with this one. Available by
special order.

Protec
Standard screw bell PB316SB case
Very nice hard case, somewhat bulky compared to other
screw bell cases, but the case separates the body from the bell very nicely,
offering better protection than most.
Space for two mouthpieces molded into the case. Very reliable for
traveling. Extra deep interior for the body to fit any style wrap. Closeout
special $119 (some cases may have the Hans Hoyer logo on the outside),

Here's a
video comparing the two Protec screw bell horn cases.
Ipac screw bell IP316SB case
Much smaller case, similar to B&S and Atkinson cases,
little room for storage, and a tight fit for larger horns, but it's an easy
case to travel with due to its small size. We'll create a list of
horns that fit in this case soon. $230
   
Standard fixed bell PB316FB case
Well padded case for Kruspe or Geyer style fixed bell horns, plywood frame
with foam padding, velour interior, single shoulder strap, nylon exterior
with outside pocket and zipper closures. Slightly bulkier
than an SKB hard case, but this looks to give better protection. $159
Optional backpack strap kit available at $14, shown in photo at right.

Eastman Strings
Colorful hard cases made by Eastman Strings in China. A nice
inexpensive case for the trendy hornist. Great for around town work and light
travel. Will fit most horns (Conn 8D's will fit). Not airplane recommended.
Colors available: Black, Blue, Red, Silver, White, Green, Pink, Purple. We're
planning to stock gloss silver, blue, and purple. Others can be had in a
few days if in stock at Eastman.
part number: CAFH- $185

SKB
This is a molded plastic hard case for fixed
bell double horn, similar to the stock case included with the Conn 8D.
Made in China, distributed through SKB in Orange, California. It's a tough
case, and while it's not completely indestructible, it's reasonably priced, and
it has a lifetime guarantee. That means if it's ever damaged or coming
apart, SKB will replace it for free, no questions asked. $160
