Gig Bags
The basic design of trumpet gig bag has not changed much in the past twenty years. The basic design was originated to serve the convenience of the player. There is not too much protection for the trumpet when transported but the ease of carrying more than makes up for the lack of security. That is if you don’t care what happens to your horn. I never trusted a gig bag to any of my horns so I have to admit that my opinions of the trumpet gig bag might be slightly bias. Most of my friends do use them and for that reason I will try to be impartial in my posting. At least I will try.
Gig bags are convenient and make it much easier to transporting your instrument to a gig. They have improved substantially from the earlier models and do warrant a close look if you want an easier way to transport your trumpet. Some models are manufactured with nylon covers with foam insides. Some are made from leather and in my opinion, the leather models seem to give the instrument more protection. For that reason, I would only recommend this style of bag.
