I am afraid that I always talk about cases, but this time I would like to think about the storage case of Courtois Nakariakov models.
The AC156NR, a signature model of Mr. Sergei Nakariakov, features four valves and a huge bell of 195mm, which is comparable to a tenor trombone. Its thick and deep sound is attractive, but it is rarely seen. This article is dedicated to those very few people.
From the overwhelming size of the bell size, ". cannot be stored in most cases."The bell is one of the toughest models for trumpet players, but here are some cases that have actually been able to accommodate it.
PROTEC C248

This soft case looks like a travel bag, but it is recommended as long as you don't mind the size, as it offers super-capacity storage.
I was able to fit a flugel and two trumpets in it, and it looks like I could fit one each, a mute, and a music stand.

This case fits me comfortably. The strength of the case is perfect, so if protection is important to you, this is a case you should definitely try.
However, there is no space for a mute, so you need to carry it separately.
GARD BAGS Tp&Flg Double Case

This may be the No. 1 case that looks easy to carry.
Although it is a soft case, it is moderately strong, and the outside pocket has plenty of storage space. It seems to have the second most storage capacity after PROTEC C248, although it requires a little ingenuity to put a mute in it.
Since the No. 3 extraction tube touches the wall surface, it may be necessary to be careful about pressure from the outside or to consider the storage method.
It is also possible to store additional cornettes, albeit a little tighter, by using the Taco Insert (sold separately) together.

The link is to the regular model, not XL. XL is a very slightly larger size, but the design is the same.

To be honest, I was just shocked that two of them could fit in this size.
Since only the XL model can accommodate them, domestic distribution is almost nonexistent and the delivery time is as long as 6-8 months. We occasionally place orders for them, so please contact us if you are interested.

This is like an extra, but it could be stored in a single hard case.
The bell size is just about right. It is inconvenient to carry it in the original case.... It may be a good choice for those who want to carry the instrument in a genuine case.
These are the cases that can be stored at this time.
We will do our best to answer any questions you may have, such as, "Can this case hold the case? If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
