I am really pleased with this gig bag. The handle has fallen off my hard case, so was looking for something more practical. I love the rucksac idea, you can just pull out one strap to put over your shoulder, its so light and easy to carry. It also is very protective still, quite stiff, and very cushioned inside, although, obviously will not stand up to someone standing on it, so you have to be, mindful of where you put it! You can open it up quite far, so you don't have to worry about pulling your pride and joy out through scratchy zips. There is plenty of room inside for one trumpet, and a couple of mutes, a bit of music, and little bag for your mouthpeice. I would have liked a soft cloth divider / cover inside, to stop the mutes etc. rubbing and possibly scratching the trumpet when in transit. It looks great too, what more can you ask for! Very pleased with it.
