No more SKB trombone cases?

I don't see the SKB 360 or the SKB 462 on their website any more. In fact, the only "band and orchestra" cases still on their website are for strings (violin, viola, and cello).

I do see them still being offered through retailers like Sweetwater and Music & Arts.

Thanks, but I was actually looking for a euph case and noticed that they seem to have dropped all woodwind and brass cases. I figured maybe someone here who works in music retail might have heard something.

I have an SKB euphonium case which I bought used. It is well made, protective, and fits the Besson perfectly, but I am surprised at how heavy it is! My experience with the bone cases was the opposite, and I was hoping to replace the Dillon brand case which the Besson was in with something lighter. I did find a luggage hauler with wheels that works great with it.
I know that does not answer your question, but just my $.02.
John, if you'd like to have the Dillon case, just pay shipping from 08620 and it's yours.

Do you think it would fit a Yamaha YEP-201 (three top action valves)?

I don't know. It will fit my Besson compensating with 3+1, I can take a picture and measurements.

if you search for "Trombone" on the SKB website, you'll go to a screen with the trombone cases listed. If you search for "Euphonium", you'll go to a screen that lists the euphonium case.

Looks like what I was seeing yesterday was a temporary glitch. Yesterday, their B&O case page only listed cases for strings; today, it lists pretty much everything. When I did a Google search for SKB 360, the link to their site came up with a "page not found"; now it works again.
