Detail 01

Light for a hardshell. Adds little to the weight of the horn itself on a long walk.

The Korena take

- Anyone needing a flight case for checked baggage
- Players wanting the lightest possible soft gig bag
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Plywood and foam construction
Rigid wood shell takes impacts; foam absorbs shock. Stiffer than a padded fabric bag.
Detail 03
24 x 11 x 6.5 inches
Slim enough for overhead bins and crowded transit. Measure your car trunk or locker before buying.
Detail 04
Plush-lined interior
Soft lining sits against the lacquer, so the finish doesn't get scuffed in transit.
Detail 05
Contoured shape
Follows the horn's outline rather than boxing it, cutting bulk compared to a rectangular case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, cleaning kit or extra straps included
- 02Check that your neck and mouthpiece fit the accessory compartments
- 03Wood shells dislike prolonged damp — dry it out if it gets rained on
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this light enough for a kid to carry to school?
At 4.5 pounds empty it's on the lighter end for a hardshell case. With an alto inside, most students handle it without trouble.
02Will it fit in an airplane overhead bin?
At 24 x 11 x 6.5 inches it's within typical carry-on dimensions, though bin sizes vary by aircraft and airline.
03Does the interior scratch the finish?
The interior is plush-lined, so the fabric sits against the lacquer rather than bare shell or hard foam.
04Can I fit a tenor in it?
No. This case is shaped for alto. Protec makes a separate contoured PRO PAC for tenor.
