I have personally used this case to protect my horn leaving the house since 2011. While in the case my horn has survived multiple drops, hasty travel situations and more plane rides than I care to remember. I’ve never once doubted the protection this case provides. The expandable front pocket holds my Harmon mute, cup mute, straight mute, bucket mute, plunger mute, headphones, cleaning accessories and a Hercules Travel Lite stand. The zippers used are heavy duty and after all this time I’ve never had issue with them. Back pocket fits an entire Real Book without question and can be removed if you want to travel even lighter. There is an included net with the case that I’ve used once before to strap a pocket trumpet case to the GL Case which has allowed me to count the two bags as one at the airport.

This is the pro choice!
