Triple horn, two bells, horn stand, music stand, Balu mute (and also a stop mute in a clip on bag [included with the case] if need be), tuner, metronome, two parts bags, two mouthpieces and of course, my music. And it still meets the airlines' overhead limitations for the mainline airplanes. There is a compact MB7 that is designed to fit in the overheads of regional airplanes--puddle jumpers as I call them; it doesn't hold all the above, but it still holds the horn, mouthpiece and a mute. I recently sold a wine leather MB7 case; it is the most beautiful horn case I've ever seen. >> and now, I personally have the havings of and the usings make with consistency, several styrofoam coolers for many, many more than two reasons, not to make the mentionings of reasonings, which you have also even though you lied and only said there were two, I actually counted 15 in the above, but then again, who cares, really, so anyway, I make the findings that the 99 cent coolers are too small for a French horn but a mellophone might fit, but sometimes you can get a bigger one on sale for that price, like right before the 4th of July, but what is best is the one for about $2.97 (usually somewhat approximately that) which will hold my beloved 6-valve-double-belled-single-B Sansone, and just about everything else I might need on the gig including breakfast, lunch, dinner, tails, shoes, t-shirt, bow tie, cummerbund, bag of cash money, Depends, rubber pants (for Wagner or R. Strauss), a quart of valve oil, a tub of slide grease (wheel-bearing grease, not wimpy nipple-lanolin), every Stone-lined mute ever made (I endorse these, also, just out of the goodness of my heart, getting no compensation at all from Fumes and Terd, Inc.), a full set of Husky chrome vanadium socket wrenches, a ball peen hammer, sabre saw, Ryobi or DeWalt electric drill, batteries, charger, Kopprasch Book 1, condoms and KY Jelly and it fits under the seat on any plane, though a bit of work on the puddle-jumpers, but remember, you've got the tools to make it fit and if you have that letter from the Musicians' Union, the AFofM, that says you can take a musical instrument on the plane, then they will let you on with all of this stuff, and the whole thing is cheaper than Bona, Thompson, off or on shore, whatevers, so there!!!
