I was able to secure one of the coveted Marcus Bonna cases coming in from
Brazil this month, from a vendor in
New York. I must have called 8 or 9 places before finally stumbling upon the right guy, but the job got done. I'll have my new case by the end on the month, if all goes well. I'm pretty excited, as he assured me it'll fit in most overhead compartments, and the case is fully customizable to whatever size trombone needs to fit in. Basically, Marcus Bonna is the best instrument case manufacturer out there right now, or at least the most sought after. Because he runs such a small factory, it is very difficult to get one of these cases, and it seems that they are only shipped out in the summer, due to the production time for the cases. Yep, I'm pretty excited!
Anyways, here is what the case looks like. It's pretty sleek looking, and it should do a far better job protecting my trombone than the last case, and it'll be easier to get around with too!

Snazzy case. Those Brazillian children do quality work!
Those poor kids probably get the Brazilian equivalent of a penny an hour! But they do fantastic work....kids are so crafty!
Hey Man! It's Jim from the 5tet! Just randomly found your blog whilst surfing the internet. Funny thing... I too have just purchased a MB case for flight/travel. Nifty!
