4 Best Flugelhorn Cases and Gig Bags Review 2022

So you want a bag that can enhance your mobility with your flugelhorn? The Protec Explorer C244X Bag is the answer.

The bag is specifically tailored to meet the demand of a flugelhorn player who loves to be on the road occasionally. The bag is light, as evidenced by its 3.5 pounds in weight. Its body dimensions measure 20.5 x 12.5 x 7.8 inches, which further highlights its portability as a mobile, traveling horn bag. But the mobility is not the only thing this bag offers.

The explorer flugelhorn gig bag features a thick 20 mm padding with reinforced puncture resistant construction for ultimate protection of your flugelhorn. This padding and puncture resistant design in the bell area of the bag enhances the security and longevity of your instrument. The exterior material is also rugged, boasting a 600D quality nylon material design.

ProTec also includes a series of pockets for holding your horn accessories and other valuables. For instance, you have a pocket where you can keep your iPad or sheet music. A spacious mute pocket is at your service, and a built-in organizer and mouthpiece pouch complete the list of spaces where you can hold your items.

Lastly, this bag is also user-friendly. It has a well-padded carrying handle that is comfortable to use. The tuck-away padded strap at the back and removable shoulder straps complete the list of the soft, safe and durable value you get when you invest in this bag from ProTec.

The Protec Pro Pac Flugelhorn case offers extensive protection for your expensive wind instrument. Looking at the case, which is less or more a gig bag, portability is what distinguish it from a host of others in the market. At a weight of 6 pounds, this case is far from being a ‘beast of burden.’ You can easily lift it and take it to any place you want. It measures 13 x 12 x 22.5 inches in dimensions, which defines its compact and travel-friendly frame.

As a traveling musician, this is the right case your flugelhorn needs. But its qualities go beyond what we have said so far.

One thing we find is that despite its portable design, it is highly functional as well. For instance, the case has a frame that easily absorbs shocks. This means even if you mistakenly hit the case against a hard surface, rest assured that nothing will happen to your instrument. The outer bag layer features water-resistant design; thanks to the 1680 gauge nylon construction. This means you can use the case even in rough weather conditions.

The soft plush linen design further adds credence to the security it offers your flugelhorn. Also included is a built-in organizer where you can keep smaller items like keys, pen, and other valuable accessories. With the shoulder strap, you can conveniently take your flugelhorn anywhere you want.

This is a typical gig bag from Fusion. It is a medium size bag that is designed to meet the need of the urban traveling musician. The bag features a sleek and subtle design with durable, high-quality polyester material. It is tough on the outside, and it’s capable of resisting water touch. The material is not the type you can rip apart with your bare hands due to its sturdiness.

Protection is everything that matters to a flugelhorn artist who wants to invest in a bag like this. Of course, this model didn’t disappoint in that regard. The bag has 1.8-inch high-density foam padding to provide a ‘Whitehouse’ style security for your flugelhorn.

All areas are secured with strong padded shell alongside an anti-crush molded base for ultimate reliability. When dangers threaten, the soft but non-scratch and non-fibrous high-quality velvet mix interior design will repel all attacks.

Alright, quality and protection aside, you still need to be comfortable carrying this bag. Fortunately enough, Fusion understands this, and the included padded backpack with waist and chest belts are there to suit your convenience.

By using the Fuse-On technology, it means you also have the luxury to attach additional accessory bags to the main bag itself. You can imagine!

Gard produces a lot of quality musical instruments and accessories, and this one is not an exception as well.

The Gard Mid-suspension bag offers a ‘safe haven’ for your flugelhorn and trumpet. As the name implies, this bag is called ‘Mid-suspension’ because it is designed to hold your instrument in the mid-session area without touching the bottom layer of the bag.

The science behind this technique is that instruments that lays at the bottom of conventional bags are susceptible to dent and extensive damages when the bags hit concrete floors. With this innovative Gard design, you can rest assured that your flugelhorn will never sustain dents or other damages even if the bag hit the floor like an African elephant.

Gard incorporates tons of strategic padding that suspends your instrument from the bottom and away from the sides of the bag. Dense foam cones are also mounted on a hard disc inside the case/bag for extended suspension and security of your flugelhorn and trumpet.

The outside layer of the bag features solid buffalo leather that is water resistant. The zippers are rugged and will stay put for many years. Flaps keep the zippers away from your instrument for further security, and the shoulder strap is all you need to hit the road with your instrument.
