Title says, more or less. I'm looking for a case that fits my closed wrap large bore (Yamaha 643), pretty much an 88h. Ideally, if someone has a more entry level to midrange case that they've sense upgraded and could ship at a not outrageous price (North East continental USA). If there's nobody here selling I'll probably end up buying a protec max from sweetwater or whatever, but I figured I'd check here first. Thanks.

You might also look for a cheap trombone with a nice case on eBay or Reverb. I've seen a couple of student horns in ProPac cases out there.

Looks like WWBW has a Protec Max case for $99 on clearance right now as well.

That's a really good idea, but unfortunately I don't think they'll fit the f attachment on my horn.

The Protec platinum trombone gig bag has backpack straps and a ton of room for other stuff and it is about $150 shipped from Dillon.

It's hit or miss, that's for sure. I got my Protec ProPac along with my old Yamaha 356R off eBay.
