The Story
Fanfare Caseworks was created to provide trumpet (and now french horn) players with the best possible case for all travel conditions. I had as many cool looking soft bags as anybody, but when I approached the airport, I became petrified that I could not carry on my horns due to the ever-changing rules and restrictions. The carry-on regulation size limit is right at the edge for most cases. If you fly on regional jets you do not have a choice; you simply hand your horn over to someone to put in the underbelly of the plane for you. The question is, are you prepared for the trip? If you own a Fanfare Case you are.
The benefits of the Fanfare Trumpet Case and Fanfare French Horn Case are:
* The Fanfare Trumpet Case or Fanfare French Horn Case provide extreme protection for your valuable instruments and takes the worry out of traveling. Your horns will be held firmly in place by a high-tech polymer foam core surrounded by a high-density polyresin shell. You have more time to think about the music and not your case’s integrity to do its job.
* Fanfare Cases have an extendable handle and wheels for an easy walking experience. When you pull the case behind you, it follows you and does not wobble from side to side.
* There are four custom-designed configurations of the Fanfare Trumpet Case as well as a specially-designed French Horn Case. This ability to pick the configuration to cradle the horns you travel with most truly makes a huge difference. We will talk more about the specific combinations on the Case Photos page, but a note about the weight of the cases. One of the most popular configuration combinations is the Fanfare Triple Case. As you can imagine, triple cases are not light, however musicians were surprised at the debut of the triple case at the 2006 National Trumpet Competition at George Mason University. Even with the superior, rugged quality protection, it was lighter than other cases brought over for comparison. Weight of the Fanfare Triple Trumpet Case is 18 pounds empty.
I am proud to say that Fanfare Caseworks has taken the trumpet and french horn cases to a whole new level. I searched long and hard until I identified an American company worthy of manufacturing this case. The company I finally chose makes cases for transporting delicate medical equipment and fragile computer parts and I insisted the Fanfare case be made to the same standards. The exterior of the Fanfare Trumpet Case and Fanfare French Horn Case features the toughest military proven hardware in a slim, smooth body style that makes transporting your equipment safe and easy. Add in the heavy duty, retractable handle and road worthy, high-density, rubber wheels that spin easily on hardened all-steel bearings and you are ready to take on the challenges of travel for years to come.
Fanfare Caseworks has solved the problems of safe travel for your multiple horns. Whether you are checking your horns in at the airport, pulling your case across campus or down the hallway at school, you will find owning a case of distinction will provide you with the same pride as you have owning those great horns.
Having read all of the above information, there is still one more good thing to say about Fanfare Caseworks Trumpet Case and French Horn Case and that is...it is still cool! I know you will enjoy it!
