Every gigging trombone player knows that sinking feeling when your instrument takes a bump in transit. You've invested serious money in your horn—now you need a case that treats it accordingly. The Protec Platinum Series tenor trombone gig bag isn't just another soft case with a zipper; it's designed from the ground up for musicians who actually travel with their gear.
The 20mm high-density foam core does the heavy lifting here, absorbing impacts that would otherwise transfer directly to your instrument. Combined with the weather-resistant 1680 ballistic nylon exterior, you're looking at protection that handles rain-soaked loading docks, crowded van cargo areas, and those inevitable bumps against doorframes when you're rushing to set up. The soft, tear-resistant lining cradles your trombone's finish, preventing those annoying micro-scratches that accumulate over time.
Anyone who's ever carried a trombone case across a festival parking lot knows the value of good straps. The thickly padded backpack straps distribute weight across your shoulders instead of digging into them. Custom metal hardware (not cheap plastic clips that snap at the worst moment) keeps everything secure. The durable molded rubber feet mean you can set the bag down on wet pavement without worrying about moisture seeping through the bottom.
Because you need more than just a place to put your instrument. External pockets give you room for mouthpieces, valve oil, slide cream, sheet music, and whatever else you need for the gig. No more juggling loose accessories or realizing you left your mute in the car.
Whether you're a touring professional, a dedicated student, or somewhere in between, this bag handles the daily grind of musician life without the bulk of a hard case. It's protection you can actually carry comfortably, built for the way real musicians move through the world.
