This is Nakamura of Kubokan.
This time, I would like to introduce cases for trumpeters all over Japan.
For big bands and brass bands, the trouble with carrying so...Trumpet & Flugelhorn
You have to carry two cases, a bag, and a music stand. I can't carry an umbrella..." Oh, no.You're going through a lot of hardships.!
Please contact Nakamura for a consultation.
What kind of cases do you have? For those of you who are wondering what kind of cases are available, here is a list of double cases!
In case you have any questions, such as "Can I put this manufacturer's Flugel in the case? We have divided the cases by size in preparation for the question, "Will this manufacturer's Flugel fit in my case?
Small size: YAMAHA, COUESNON, MARCATO
Medium size: JUPITER, COUESNON late production
Medium+α size: QUEEN BRASS, V.BACH 183, GETZEN
Large size: CONN (Vintage One), VAN LAAR, COURTOIS
Extra large size: COURTOIS AC156NR
There are many makers who have different winding methods depending on the model and age. Please consider this as a reference only. We will add more manufacturers as we are able to verify if they can actually be stored.
This is a British manufacturer. Since they are rarely handled in Japan, you may not see them very often. There are many overseas players who use this product.
The weight is 3.3 kg, and the strength is somewhere between soft and hard. The reason for this is that we put acrylic panels in four directions on the sides of the case. Many people are reluctant to use soft cases, but this case is strong enough to carry around town. In our store, we feel that many people are replacing the Marcus Bona Triple Case described below.
The size of the case is about the same as the Marcus Bona Triple Case, which can easily hold up to a medium-sized bag, and maybe even an alpha-sized bag depending on the model. It is about the same size as the original Marcus Bona Triple Case. It is convenient because it can also hold a mute and music stand. We also have special order leather cases available.
Here is a summary of Brass Bags,herefor more information about Brass Bags.
Weighing 2.9 kg, this model is called "Guard Bags' Elite Series" and features two-tone brown leather. It is somewhat heavier than the all-black model that was widely distributed in the past, but it is much sturdier. Not long ago, red and black two-tone cases with the V.Bach logo were in vogue, but in fact, those cases are also GuardBags. We can recommend it to users of small sizes such as Yamaha, but the medium size is just about right.
The two pockets are convenient for keeping small items from cluttering up the case. A rain cover is also included, which is a nice touch. It is strong enough for daily use without any problem at all, but those who often use crowded trains should be careful.
GARD BAGS 9-ECSK (Trumpet & Flugelhorn)
This is a larger version of the above Elite Series. This is very innovative.... It is a very revolutionary product.... Although the size is large, this is good news for those who have never had the means to carry them all together. Stock in Japan is extremely limited, and there is often a six-month wait before they arrive, so if you are interested, hurry up and check it out!
>The extra-large Kurutova and Nakariakov models can also be accommodated.
This case weighs 4.1 kg and is popular as a standard model for trumpet and flugelhorn. It is available in a wide variety of colors and is durable and long-lasting. The interior fabric is also excellent, which explains the strong popularity of this case. We have confirmed that it can hold up to medium to +/- alpha size. It is very good and versatile as a case for 2 trumpets & piccolo trumpet, and is especially popular among music college students.
This model is not officially handled in Japan, and unlike the above triple case, is designed for trumpet and flugelhorn. Height: 550, width: 280, depth: 200, more compact in width and thicker in thickness than the triple.
The greatest feature of this case is that it can hold a large size flugelhorn. We would like to recommend this case to those who are looking for a sturdy case that can hold large windings.
PROTEC：PB301F
A double case that can also hold a Courtois Nakariakov model, 190mm bell, etc. It is reasonably priced in the low 20,000 yen range, so we recommend it to those who want to carry a large-sized instrument at a reasonable price.
PROTER IP301T
This is a standard model of triple case. It is slightly wider than the Marcus Bona, and can hold a B♭It can hold 3 wind trumpets. We have checked up to medium~+ alpha size. It can also accommodate some mute storage, etc. Although the IP301F can hold instruments more securely, the IP301T is more versatile.

You can also find us on Twitter.This model is new for fall 2018. It features an exterior design that looks like a different manufacturer, with significant changes from the exterior to the texture of the interior cushions. It is made of slightly metallic ABS plastic and has an uneven finish to make scratches less noticeable. It is easy to carry with casters, but it is also compatible with backpack type.
It can hold up to medium-sized instruments such as Jupiter. And yet it weighs only about 3 kg and is priced at about 30,000 yen. I, Nakamura, jumped at the chance to buy it after its release. I have used it for two full years, and both the exterior and interior are almost undamaged, and it is also very strong. It is available in three colors: silver, navy, and black.
BAGS: Quad
There is no other case that can hold four trumpets in such a compact size. It is not particularly light in weight, but it is very thin, so you won't feel its weight when you carry it on your back. When used with a trumpet & flugelhorn, the flugel can hold up to medium to +α size. However, due to its thin profile, it is difficult to store trumpets with bell diameters of 135mm or larger.
CRONKHITE: Super Triple
https://www.tcgakki.com/items10/tc100670.html
Weighing 2.7 kg, it can hold a trumpet, piccolo, or flugelhorn. It cannot be used as a backpack, and can only be carried on the shoulder. It is less in terms of convenience, but the overwhelming coolness of the leather and the outstanding storage capacity are so attractive that they far outweigh it. The careful sewing and thick cushioning make you feel something that makes you want to use it at first glance. The regular price is about 120,000 yen, which is expensive and not something you see very often. If you are still interested in this product and would like to try it, please contact us.
