Gard Bags (brand)

Padded double and triple trumpet gig bags that are popular with working players.

Not for: Anyone who checks the instrument as luggage.

Bam Hightech (line)

A rigid, light shell with a snug interior, well suited to travel.

Not for: Budget-conscious beginners.

Reunion Blues RBX (line)

A durable, well-padded bag that is comfortable for daily commutes.

Not for: Owners of extra-large-bell or flugelhorn instruments, unless a specific fit is listed.

Bell fit: Check the bell compartment size, especially for large bells. Flugelhorn and cornet need their own cases. Cornets and flugelhorns do not fit trumpet cases properly.
Number of horns: Choose single, double or triple according to how many horns you carry, such as Bb and C or piccolo. Multi-horn cases keep each instrument separated.
Mouthpiece and mute storage: Mouthpieces need padded pockets kept away from the valves. Look for room for a straight mute if you use one. Loose mouthpieces cause dents.
Valve block support: Foam should support the valve casings and leadpipe. These are the most damage-prone areas.
