[blockquote]I just got back from a round trip to Atlanta with no damage to the horn. That’s six flights so far with The Tank. The case is taking a few knocks on the outside, though. I spent a week carrying it around and was surprised that it wasn’t that difficult to handle. It weighs about 20 pounds loaded. Definitely worth the slight trade-off in return for not having to schlep it around the airport–going through security lines, trying to order food, visiting the restroom, etc.–Ralph Sauer, retired L.A. Philharmonic Principal Trombonist, inventor of the “Travelbone”[/blockquote]


[blockquote]I love this case! I checked my horn in this case and forgot about it! It came through with no problem. Traveling is easy with this case – no more worrying about my horn on the flight-David Vining, Professor of Trombone at Northern Arizona University[/blockquote]


[blockquote]The case was great to have last May! It journeyed from Little Rock to Memphis to Vienna to Salzburg to Munich to Beijing to Shanghai to Fuzhou to Hong Kong and back to the USA in fine condition. The turning locks got a bit loose, so I used a strap for extra safety, but that was the only problem, and I always checked it as regular baggage. It has already more than paid for itself!-Denis W. Winter, Central Arkansas University, Euphonium/Trombone Member[/blockquote]


[blockquote]It’s been 25 years since I last checked my horn at the airport. Now I do, because I know it’s going to be OK
.–Scott Whitfield, a well-known Arranger and Trombone Performe[/blockquote]
