I think...

[ewt]

...that with any 'extra' money I make in December from playing Xmas carols, if I get enough, I may buy myself a horn case. This business of carrying around the wooden one is REALLY slowing me down (not having both hands free) and not great for my back. I like the compact ones (because Iwould be wearing a big leather spike on my back! yay!) but suspect that the longer slimline ones would be better (room for two mutes, or in my case one mute and one mutecase for busking things).

After my audition I will start phoning around and finding out about how customisable the Marcus Bonna cases are (my horn is a slightly weird shape). If I am an especially lucky ewt it will just require some extra padding, rather than a custom-built case.
