Does anyone know of anyone who makes custom bass trombone or contrabass trombone cases. With my new C slide, my bell section measures 41" in length and it will no longer hit in my current case. Apparently Altieri and Cronkhite no longer do custom work.

Marcus Bonna makes cases to order all the time from what I remember. Can anyone confirm this as of late?

Take the tuning slide out and just have a pouch made or use a mute bag or some small woodwind bag for it. I used to use a Tuxedo flute bag for a spare valve section, almost looked like it was made for it and had loops to thread through the shoulder strap of the bag I used for my horn.

Cheers,
