See live pricesOverview and Design
The BAM Softpack Jazz Tenor Trombone Case is engineered for musicians who require a slim profile without sacrificing structural integrity. It is distinguished from the standard BAM Softpack series by the inclusion of a large external expansion pocket, specifically designed to accommodate sheet music and bulky accessories that typically require a secondary bag. The 'Terracotta' finish provides a modern, earthy aesthetic that deviates from traditional black instrument luggage.
Construction and Protection
Utilising high-tech materials characteristic of the BAM brand, the case features a rigid structure that protects against impacts and thermal changes. The interior is moulded to cradle the instrument securely, preventing movement during transit. While the exterior retains a soft-touch aesthetic, the core of the case is built to resist compression, ensuring that the trombone's slide and bell remain aligned and protected.
Compatibility
This specific Softpack model is tailored for instruments with a bell diameter of up to 20.5 cm. It is ideally suited for classic jazz-orientated tenor trombones. Confirmed compatible models include:
- King 2B
- King 3B
- Conn 6H
Musicians using large-bore orchestral trombones or instruments with F-attachments should verify dimensions, as this case is optimised for the more slender jazz configuration.
Ergonomics and Portability
Designed with the mobile musician in mind, the case includes two integrated backpack straps on the rear. This allows for hands-free transport, which is particularly beneficial for those commuting via public transport. The compact dimensions ensure the case remains unobtrusive, while the inclusion of the external pocket reduces the need for additional carry-all bags.
