How to choose a trombone case and recommendations!

Trombone cases protect trombones from shocks and dirt when carrying and storing them. There are various functions and materials to choose from, and it is hard to know which one to choose...! For those people, we will introduce trombone cases that we carry at Sound House from various aspects!

How to choose a trombone case

01 Check the size of the trombone and case

Not only are there different types of trombones, such as "tenor," "tenor bass," and "bass," but the size of the bell, the thickness of the tube, and the specifications of the F-attachment and valve vary by manufacturer and model. Be sure to check in advance that the instrument can be stored securely.

02 Check the main applications

There are three types of trombone cases: soft case, semi-hard case, and hard case. Choose one taking into consideration the frequency of carrying and the means of transportation.

Soft Case

Soft cases are made of lightweight and soft materials. Many of them are designed to be carried on the back like a backpack, making them easy to carry and relatively inexpensive. Although they may be less durable in some respects, they are recommended for people who often carry them on foot to avoid crowds and rainy weather!

Semi-hard Case

Semi-hard cases are even more durable than soft cases. Many are designed to be carried on the back like a backpack, making them ideal for bicycle riding. In addition to being durable, these cases are recommended for those looking for a lightweight, easy-to-carry trombone case!

Hard Case

Hard cases are highly secure and resistant to external shocks. Since it is heavier than other cases, it is recommended for people who rarely carry it around or who mainly travel by car. In addition, it is also suitable for long-term storage if you are careful about moisture!

03 Check functionality and design

You may be thinking, "I want to have enough space for my sheet music, mouthpieces, and maintenance items..." or "I want to choose a design that shows off my personality! Everyone has his or her own preference. There are various types of cases available, so check carefully to find the trombone case that best suits your needs!
