After reading another review, I was a bit hesitant to buy the Mike Vax combo, even thinking about returning it just in case. However to my surprise it worked perfectly for me. I carry a Cousenon flugel and Xeno with K&M stands stored in the bells. By removing one of the padded blocks by the flugel area and wrapping it in a towel that I would carry anyway, I am able to insert a Jo-Ral bubble mute for the trumpet. Of course the Protec case has the very cool pocket for cell phone, pens, and misc. storage. All in all and considering its compact size, I give it an A+. If you carry a larger flugelhorn like the Kanstul or LeBlanc, you should check first for fit before buying. Peace!

In a few words, this case is wonderful. Very well made, sturdy, and plenty of padding. The case also has wheels and a telescoping handle so you can wheel it through airports or just to gigs. There is a roomy pocket on top for music, oil, etc. The inside is padded extremely well, and both trumpet and flugelhorn fit snugly. I have even been able to put a C trumpet and a cornet in the flugel side with no problems. Those of you with large bell flugels (Conn V1, etc.) may not be able to use this case. The only drawback to me is the fact that there is no room to put mutes in the case without potentially damaging a horn. Other than that, this is a great case, and I understand it will also fit in the overhead bin on airplanes. Well worth the money.
