Trumpet Cases are portable containers designed for carrying, protecting or safely storing the tenor saxophone instrument. Trumpet Cases are made of two parts, the outside shell for protection, and the inside of the case for support. The outside shell can be made of many different materials but they are generally very resistant to shock and tear. The inside of the case is usually a contoured-fit and provides gentle compression that prevents the instrument from moving inside the case and maximizes shock absorption. An accessory compartment inside Trumpet Cases is usually part of the design. A carrying handle and/or a shoulder strap are usually attached to Trumpet Cases for better portability.
