How are the hinges? I had to repair mine after 5 years when the screws pulled out of the cardboard composition shell, but I'm harder on things than my daughter (see previous post). Other than that I've been quite satisfied with the Thompson Edition case. I hope they've improved the design. A piece of wood for the screws to screw into would do it.
It's very comfortable in back pack configuration.

I have Thompson Edition cases in both fixed- and cut-bell versions, and I like 'em a lot. So far, they've provided complete protection to my horns, yet they're comfortable to carry. And compared with other compact and protective cases, they're not expensive. It's been a while, but I seem to recall that mine were about $250 each. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/herb_foster%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
