Glenn Cronkhite Custom Cases 

Glenn Cronkhite is the master case maker. His light weight cases are hand made in Berkeley, California. Remember when Reunion Blues cases were made in San Francisco? (They're made in China now.) That formerly famous line was really Glenn Cronkhite cases made under license. With the RB factory closed, Glenn is again making all the cases himself, either the same as the old RB line, or improved, with new style and a variety of new colors. I have many styles in stock, including many no longer available from Reunion Blues, and all of these are much higher quality cases than their Chinese made lineup IMHO. Please call for price and availability on other styles not listed, or for custom work. Read more on Glenn Cronkhite and Reunion Blues. A while back I got a shipment of cases from Glenn that included one of the compact tenor trombone cases in this incredible cinnamon brown leather. I assimilated it into my collection immediately to house my Shires jazz tenor, and I promptly sold old case. This Cronkhite case is much lighter, easier and more comfortable to carry, doesn't have sharp square corners, and......looks incredible!!! I mean, what kind of statement do I want to make about my musicianship and my equipment? Production case, or a beautiful brown leather case hand made by my friend in Berkeley? It was an easy choice. If you want style, light weight, and the ultimate in protection for a soft case, these are the bomb! All Cronkhite trombone cases are the new G style, which stands for gusset, and are sort of squarish, with the slide pocket inside the main compartment of the bag for better protection. There is much less stress on the zippers than with the older style cases. A wooden disk is now sewn inside the bell end of the bag . Most have double shoulder straps to allow you to carry the bag like a backpack. Single straps are available by special order. The older Reunion Blues O style trombone case style is no longer available, due to the high stress on zippers and seams and the high amount of warranty repairs that were required. These cases are not cheap, but they are handmade like no others and will last you a lifetime. They have the firmest foam, wood reinforcements, gold plated steel hardware, top quality zippers, and heavy duty extra thick boot and saddle type leather. They can be repaired and rebuilt by Glenn for a reasonable price. He will also repair older Reunion Blues cases, call for info. These aren't your father's gig bags. They are a much higher quality product. If you tend to injure your horn and need a hard case, go with that, but if you want a lighter sleeker case with excellent protection for its weight, this is the best choice. I use them for all my instruments. Weights of Cronkhite cases may vary due to thickness of the leather. For comparison, a Conn 88H case weighs 11.5 pounds, and a Bach 12 case weighs 13 pounds. I keep most of these styles in stock in black for immediate shipping, and I have many in some spectacular colors and two-color combinations. Other colors can ship in 2 weeks. Don't be afraid of color, choose something that will stand out. Have fun and enjoy the art of the case. Colors - pick any two Leather - black, burgundy wine, dark chocolate brown, cinnamon brown, medium brown, British tan. red Fabric - black, burgundy wine, forest green, dark blue, brown, tan

Compact tenor trombone	This is the smallest and lightest trombone case around. It's a sleekest, narrowest version of these cases. Fits horns without F attachments, up to 8" bell, essentially all jazz horns. Single removable two position shoulder strap. Pictured are cinnamon brown leather and black and red leather. If you want everyone in sight to say, "Nice case", that black and red one will have the desired effect. Also shown is an interior view, with a Shires small bore tenor trombone inside. Includes clip guard for comfort when carrying over your shoulder. 37x10x9",    3.5" wide at the narrow end	Cordura TBN TSG-C 5 lbs Leather TBN TSG-L 6 lbs	$270 $205 $420 $333
Compact tenor trombone 2-piece travel case	For those who find the above case too large, Glenn now makes a two-piece case, in the style of the old Reunion Blues trombone gig bags, but this improved version offers much better protection, and it much more versatile for travel.  The slide pocket is a separate case with its own should strap.  it has wood on both sides, and can be easily removed from the bell case.  The bell case is a bit smaller than the case above, so when taken apart, both pieces can be carried onto ANY plane.  If you get vibed by the gate attendant, simply snap your two cases apart, and say, "What?  These two little things?  Of course they'll fit." cordura 5 lb leather 8 lb	Cordura TBN TSBO-C + TSC-C Leather TBN TSBO-L + TSC-L	$328   $466
Small to medium tenor trombone	Fits all straight tenor trombones without F attachment up to 8" bell, and some medium bore horns with F attachment for a slightly tighter fit. Fine case for a Bach 36B, or for those wanting a bit more room inside for their King 3B. Double backpack style shoulder straps. Pictured is a TTG in black cordura. 37x10x10"	Cordura TBN TTG-C Leather TBN TTG-L	$284 $205 $434 $333
Large tenor trombone	Fits all large tenor trombones with F attachment, up to 9" bell, with room for your stuff. Try this for Conn 88H, Bach 42B, and similar horns. Double shoulder straps. Also fits single valve bass trombones up to 9.5" bell, though it's a tighter fit. Pictured in black cordura with burgundy sides, material is less red than it appears. Also shown in dark chocolate brown leather. The lower picture is a top view showing the interior. Inside is a Shires tenor trombone with Thayer valve. Any trombone without F attachment can also fit fine inside this case, or we can order a narrower version called the BTGS, which is built like the slim TSG case above, but for an 8.5" bell no-valve horn, like the Conn 8H. Call for details. 37x10x10"	Cordura TBN BTG-C 6 lbs Leather TBN BTG-L 8 lbs	$308 $231 $462 $347
Large tenor trombone or small bass trombone 2-piece travel case	This case holds all large tenor trombones with F attachment, and most single and double valve bass trombones with up to 9.5" bell.  The two pieces can be separated for airline travel, for those times when you must carry your horn on the plane.  Let us know if your bell section is over 28.5" long, or if you have a double valve bass trombone and want a small hump in the top of the case to allow more room for the D paddle.  Custom length and the bass hump is available at no extra charge. cordura 5 lb leather 8 lb	Cordura TBN BTBO-C + TSC-C Leather TBN BTBO-L + TSC-L   *please specify if you have a long open wrap or dependent valve bass trombone when ordering this case	$329   $483

Large bass trombone 2-piece travel case	This case holds all double valve bass trombones.  The two pieces can be separated for airline travel, for those times when you must carry your horn on the plane.  This is the best fit for bass trombones with large valves or very open wraps, and whose bell is over 9.5".  This does not fit as well in all commercial aircraft overhead bins, so we recommend the medium sized BTBO, above, unless you absolutely need a case this large.  Can be made in a longer length if your bell section is over 28.5" long. cordura 6 lb leather 9 lb	Cordura TBN BBBO-C + TSC-C Leather TBN BBBO-L + TSC-L   *please specify if you have a long open wrap or dependent valve bass trombone when ordering this case	$338   $483

Softpack Jazz Trombone	New case with sleek gloss hard plastic top in several colors, with scuff-proof plastic bottom, firm padded sides with zipper closure allow the case to gently squeeze your horn so there is no movement inside. Horns such as Shires with large F attachment thumb paddles may need a small pad in between trigger and slide due to the small size of the case.  These cases are also available with a small exterior pocket, but we order them without the pocket, as they are much sleeker.  Metallic black or terra cotta.  Fits small tenor trombones without F attachment	4031S	$305
Softpack Tenor Trombone	Same as above for all trombones with F attachment	4030S	$320
Softpack Bass Trombone	Same as above for most bass trombones. Shires with Thayer or Trubore valves may be too big for this case.  Does not fit trombones with tuning in the slide.	4032S	$350

Case	Specs	Price
MBT	Standard tenor trombone case, will fit all tenors up to a 9" bell flare and fits a standard straight mute inside the bell. Has a large accessory pocket inside the case and on the outside, also has straps to hold a trombone stand. Backpack and shoulder straps included. Fiberglass shell case with replaceable cover in the event yours gets worn. Velcro pads can be adjusted inside the case to perfectly fit your trombone.	nylon- $430 leather- $580
NEW MBT Lightweight	New from Marcus Bonna, lightweight tenor trombone case. A smaller wider case than the standard tenor. Velcro pads make a custom fit for your trombone. Backpack and shoulder straps included.  This is really an ingenious design.  The parts of your horn fit closely, but they'll never touch if you put them in right.  Tip:  the water key of your slide goes down on the right side, and the slide connector goes down on the left side, in a little hole.  A small foam pad will keep the slide away from the bell.	nylon- $430 leather- $580
MBB	Bass trombone case, compact and lightweight. An excellent case that offers protection and versatility. Bass trombone cases are usually bulky and non protective. This case solves all of the problems. Velcro padding inside can be adjusted to fit whatever valve combination you have on your bass.  Can also be used for large tenor trombones, and since it doesn't hold a mute like the MBT, it's a shorter case.  Designed for 9.5"-10" bell.  We can also order the XL version for 10.5" bells.  Please ask.  No extra charge.	nylon- $430 leather-$580
