Hard shell offers good protection

This case is really more of a wheeled, lightly hard sided gig bag; I would not use it for traveling by air, nor would I ever try to ship an instrument in it, as it affords really no protection to the rim of a standard Bb horn

Solid quad case and very padded for great protection of your trumpets

Good protection for horns and makes an attractive side table for mutes and water at the gig!!

other wise I like it
