I just bought a used yamaha 321 Bass trombone. Great horn - Crappy condition case.
Has anyone used or using this case? Pros/cons?
I`d appriciate your feed back
Thanks,
Dave

Gard Mid-Suspension G Series Bass Trombone Gig Bag
I have a Gard bass trombone case. Don't know if it's "mid suspension" or not. Works like a Reunion Blues G case with a slide insert inside the bag.
The case sets up with an octagonal plate to stiffen the bell section. Has carry handles and a shoulder strap.
There is an accessory bag that attaches by Velcro to the slide insert. It sometimes comes off. Left it on the non-horn side of the insert. It was able to hold two mouthpieces, sprayer, lube, and a few other things. Will not hold a full music clip.
I was able to put my King 7B and a trombone stand inside (the trombone stand on the other side of the slide insert).
I was able to carry it on my shoulder without much trouble.
It doesn't provide much protection, but I don't think any gig bag really does. It's not as nice as a Cronkite or Altieri, but mine cost a LOT less.

I've got the tenor version of the Gard suspension bag, on wheels. I think it's great. Very convenient, manoeuvrable and plenty of storage. There is a YouTube video showing the features of the bag.

I bought the Gard wheelie for my bass last year but when I got it I was shocked at the sheer size of it,just too big for my practical needs.
In terms of the capabilities of it I was put off by the fact that the slide compartment was directly behind the bell section and was a real pain to get in.
I sent it back and got a Protec ipac. Much better for my needs.
