Not What I Expected!
I bought this bag to carry a couple of trumpets with mutes & stands etc thinking that it would be a useful alternative to the big quad case or soft bag that I often use. This bag would not fit 3 trumpets in it, 2 is a tight fit and because of how they sit in the bag the valve blocks tend to push the top of the bag out. The bag is just long enough to take a standard Bb trumpet and the depth of the bag is barely that of an average bell. Cornets and even piccolo trumpets don't fit very well either due to the space available and how the instruments sit in the bag. With the relatively thin padding and no solid surfaces this bag doesn't offer much protection either. On the plus side it is compact and it does fit easily into the overhead locker on a plane (with one trumpet, a couple of mutes and a bottle of duty free vodka). The straps and zips all seem pretty hard wearing and it looks quite nice when you're carrying it but all in all it's hard to recommend this bag.
