Glenn Cronkhite Trumpet Cases

Glenn Cronkhite is the master case maker. His new line of cases is hand made in Berkeley, California. Glenn is the former case designer of Reunion Blues. He made the patterns for all the Reunion Blues cases that were made in San Francisco. With the RB factory closed, Glenn is again making new cases, either the same as the old RB cases, or improved. We have many styles in stock, including many no longer available from Reunion Blues, and all of these are much higher quality cases. Please call for price and availability on other styles.

This new hard case for a single trumpet is stylish, light, protective, and cheap - all good. Made in China of painted fiberglass, it owes its heritage to the Walt Johnson style of case. While not totally indestructible, we think it's great for the money. Includes removable shoulder strap. Rubber feet protect the finish when you put it down.

Hold your four favorite trumpets, or 3 trumpets and a bunch of mutes, in this small padded hybrid rigid/soft case that's hardly any larger than a Bach single trumpet case. This case will fit under an airline seat. In black cordura or black leather with stiff panels around the exterior for protection. We order ours with extra boards to give even more protection and make this more like a lightweight hardcase. Soft plush interior keeps your horns safe from impact. Includes backpack straps and shoulder strap. Beautifully handmade out of high quality materials, super lightweight, includes interior accessory pocket that will hold music, lubes, mouthpieces etc. Zipper closure. Internal views show two Bb trumpets a D trumpet, and a piccolo. Four Bb trumpets will fit fine in this case. A lot of our clients like this case because you can leave it open on stage and have access to all 4 trumpets with a quick grab.

Also in stock double trumpet and flugel case, same size and price as the quad case.

The coverings can be had in nylon fabric or leather and are removable to be replaced in the event the cover is damaged. The interior provides customizable foam pads that allow you to adjust this case to fit your horns, despite the make and model. As shown with a Yamaha Z Shew Bb, a custom Ken Larson orchestral C and a Schilke P5-4 piccolo (not included with the case, sorry.) Backpack straps are included.

Single trumpet gig bag

Black cordura construction with side pocket, shoulder strap, replaceable plastic stiffening sleeves, very nice case for little money, used by Jack Sheldon C238 $55
Triple trumpet gig bag

 

You can squeeze a Bb, a C, and a flugel in it, though it's a tight fit. Works best for Bb, C, and piccolo, or one trumpet and flugel. Somehow Dennis Farias got a cornet in there too. Has many exterior pockets, and an organizer. Similar capacity to the standard triple trumpet bag from Cronkhite but is bulkier. Similar to the old gig bag marketed by Selmer but made with much better materials. Black cordura, made in China by ProTec. Most excellent zipper access to the foam layer on the outside of the case, so you can replace the foam without seeing your local sewing shop. Removable mute bag, includes two shoulder straps.

First interior pic at left is two Bb trumpets and a piccolo in the middle. The second interior pic is one Bb trumpet, one flugel, and one piccolo in the middle. Tight fit, but it works.

6.3 lbs., 26x12x14"
