Best For middle school band kid: DUENEW Hard Trumpet Case

They are much more petite and lightweight to cart around. They trumpets are inexpensive, which is nice because the case is not very stiff. The case has just enough padding to protect the instrument without making it heavy. It has cushioning and handles and a perfect fit. It is kind of necessary when you walk with a cane.
