This is not the cheapest of cases but it does offer the ultimate protection for your instruments. Jeremy has used a green one of these for over three decades, carrying his cornetts to 34 countries and right around the world in the process. This is indeed the only instrument case that Jeremy has found safe to check in with airlines (at times of airport high security when hand luggage is severely restricted) and it has even been "lost" for several days at London's Heathrow Airport, notorious for indelicate baggage handling. No instrument in its care has ever suffered damage of any sort, even minor. "This case will see me through my entire career beginning to end. It truly is a bag for life!" JW The case is fitted with a "lip" to prevent rainwater penetrating and has two catches, one of which locks. The lid and base are thickly padded on the inside with plush material, with no preformed compartments; this way the interior retains the flexibility to carry different instruments on different occasions. This case is designed to carry three cornetti comfortably. It will also accommodate an alto cornett or a mute cornett in F. This case usually comes in green (Jeremy's choice!).
