This is a special version of the Marcus Bonna Compact case for tenor trombone with integrated wheels. Shown in royal blue nylon. The large end of the case is slightly wider to accommodate the wheels, but otherwise is similar to the standard Compact case.
The Compact case is a lightweight fiberglass case for tenor trombone and mute made by Marcus Bonna in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The case has a different shape than others to allow storage of a mute inside the trombone's bell. The resulting placement of the bell flare away from the end of the case end gives it very sleek profile. The size and weight of the Compact are about the same as the Marcus Bonna Light case, which does not have room for a mute. This case is available with wheels for a small up-charge. See the drop down menu for options, both in-stock and pre-order.
The only drawback of this case is that not every tenor trombone will fit, and many of those that do will require some additional disassembly for travel.
Short story...
Long story...
The trombones shown in the photos are a Conn 88HNV New Vintage model. This Conn has the longest F-attachment that will fit in this case without F-crook removal. It fits exactly. Anything longer will need its crook removed and stored in the center pocket. Other photos below show the Getzen-Edwards axial setup and the need to remove the F crook.
Weight: 11.8 lb, 5.4 kg
Shell Size: 11x9x34", 28x23x86 cm
As usual, backpack straps and a shoulder strap are included, as well as removable interior pads and a double mouthpiece pouch.
The Bonna case cover is easily removed for cleaning, repair or replacement, making this a lifetime case. We often stock these in black nylon, though we can offer a case in any single or two-tone combination of colors in either nylon or leather at your request. Carbon fiber shells can be had upon request. Our experience is that the weight is the same, but the strength is supposed to be higher. Thankfully we haven't tested until the point of failure. These cases are designed for use as hand luggage. We don't recommend use of this case for air travel checked baggage service.
