Protec PB-312 Case for Cornet

This Protec case has proved to be a safe way to carry my instruments. And in fact has proved to be even more versatile than I'd hoped for when I originally bought it.

It has safely carried my long model Bach Strad Bb cornet, but has also on different occasions proved a safe home for my Schilke C cornet and my Yamaha Custom C rotary trumpet which was a real bonus. There's a pocket on the outside for mouthpieces/oil/extra tuning crooks (in the case of the rotary trumpet).

All in all this case has proved to be a safe, lightweight, protective and inexpensive way to carry my instruments.

I'm so pleased with this excellent case for my Long Model Cornet. It is also suitable for short model, shepherds crook brass band cornets and comes with extra padding for those. I have a Protect triple gig bag and have always been happy with it. I knew what good quality bags and cases they made. Choosing this one was a natural choice for me but I still researched them and read reviews. No one had anything bad to say. All positive and everyone was pleased with theirs.
There's very good padding inside a tough hard but light case. My cornet is well protected. Spaces for two mouthpieces and an outside compartment with room for bits and bobs. Carry handle is very good and the detachable shoulder strap is great.
All in all a fantastic case. Would recommend to any cornetist.

After 16 years ownership of a Protec trumpet case (which is still in fantastic shape), I purchased this new style cornet case in November 2013.
The quality is outstanding, and the protection offered is superb, with at least 1" of medium-hard sponge/foam to all internal sides covered in a soft fibrous material, the case also has very hard and extremely stiff thin walls (fibre-glass or wood ?) covered in a tough and thick nylon outer material.
My 1920's American long cornet, 15 inch overall length and a few inches taller than a modern trumpet just fits in perfectly (any longer and it would likely not fit). My English short cornet also fits in great, as is, the bell on both of these cornets gets held firmly in a foam slot, but will benefit from my own 2 inch foam block to butt up against the rear shepherd's crook bend on the shorter cornet.
Side pocket will take a straight and plunger mute.
An absolutely great case, and outstanding customer service from Thomann (1 1/2 day courier to the UK, and great packaging) !!!
