Interesting horns that trumpeter Christian Scott has brought to market in collaboration with the Dutch instrument maker Adams:

Yes, they're...trumpets
...but the innovative spirit of these horns is worth checking out.

good luck with your cases...
don't get me wrong, Adams folks are amazing, but this doesn't look too practical...

I really think having fancy braces and different tube bends only change a horn so much. The design and tapers, materials and thicknesses, and craftsmanship are the big factors here.

Adams are good designers and artisans. Still, I would prefer their more traditional and less flashy wraps.

says the man with the crazy brace in his avatar!
I've experienced circumstances where moving a brace by 1/4" totally changed an instrument. I would agree that the other factors matter more, but I wouldn't discount the effect it can have, either. I think it makes sense to design an instrument to play well before trying to make it look unique, though.
