The History and Appeal of Marcus Bonna

Durability, storage capacity, and the joy of choosing.
A classic among handmade cases that set a new standard for wind instrument cases.

History | Tracing a Great Legacy | From the Early Days to the Present

Marcus Bonna originally made his name as a horn player with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra. To solve the problem of heavy cases—a constant source of frustration during his travels—he designed his own original horn case. His cases, which allowed for easy and safe transport, gained recognition both within and outside the orchestra, and even internationally, leading him to establish MB.
Today, the company manufactures a wide variety of wind instrument cases, and MB cases—meticulously handcrafted—have established themselves as the top brand in the wind instrument case industry.

Appeal | Why Does Marcus Bonna Continue to Captivate Musicians?

To put it simply, these three points stand out:
• Durability
• Storage Capacity
• Design
Sturdy semi-hard cases made of fiberglass.
A wide variety of models designed to accommodate different instrument combinations.
Additionally, with 38 color variations—including nylon and leather options—you’re sure to find a unique look that won’t clash with anyone else’s.

Features | This Is the True Appeal of Marcus Bonna

Aside from these reasons for its popularity, the greatest benefit of MB cases is, of course, their ability to safely store your instrument.
No matter how sturdy the case itself is, if the instrument isn’t properly protected by the internal dividers, it could lead to an accident. Since the internal dividers in MB cases can be freely adjusted, you can store your instrument in the optimal configuration for your specific model, achieving a secure hold that cases from other manufacturers simply can’t match.

How to Choose a Marcus Bonna Case

Do you need to transport multiple instruments? Do you want to pack mutes or a music stand? Will you be traveling by train or by car? MB cases can handle any situation. In recent years, in particular, the company has released a steady stream of “compact and safe” cases, demonstrating MB’s ongoing commitment to quality.
With a wide range of color options and the ability to customize combinations, you might even want to create a case that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
