Protec Pro Pac Contoured new outer pocket design
Posted: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:06 am
I got a new Pro Pac contoured trombone case today and am bummed. The new design is just not as good as the old one.
The lack of a block above the mouthpiece compartment makes me worry about what happens when the velcro starts to fail (inevitable), and worst of all, the new outer pocket is a few inches shorter than the old version, and can no longer fit a K&M stand. The worlds most perfect case (for me) is now just kind of ok... there are cleaner, lighter, and more protective cases that can't pack your stand... and then there's Marcus Bona... but I already spent all my spare money on the new horn...
Protec, you were my favorite for nearly a decade, and now I must soldier on looking for a new best case... and all because of 2 inches...
