My requirements for a case were that it be non-zipper, hard shell, conservative / traditional in appearance, lightweight, tough, compact, plush lined, LOCKABLE, well constructed and most importantly hold my trumpet very securely when closed.This case is perfect in all the above and my Schilke X3 fits perfectly.I particularly like the tough aluminum edging around top and bottom edges where they meet. This should ensure accurate closing for years. I also like the latches themselves which are good robust mechanism.There is only minimal room for accessories but for me a trumpet case holds a trumpet. I can have a separate bag for everything else.Very happy with this choice.
