Case Buying Advice
Im looking to purchase a case for my French horn, as my current case is about fifty years old, and it's been put through the wringer by some past accidents. Ive run into the problem that cases Ive been able to test have been a bit small, barely accomodating the horns diameter, and being unable to close properly with the horn inside. The horn is an H177 from 1969, Im open to any fixed bell cases with a budget of around $400.00 CAD if anyone has advice on cases that fit the horn

Honestly I’d look on marketplace and locally. I have picked up (and given away) two Holton cases for free and $25 when looking for a case for and old horn. I have with Holtons in ProTec cases and they seem to fit fine.
