Which Messina Cover is right for you?
Why buy the standard triple?
If you want to carry a Bb, a C, and a flugelhorn you will need the triple. If you like to carry a Bb, flugelhorn, and a laptop inside of your gig bag.
Why buy the standard 2.5?
Because it is smaller overall and therefore easier to navigate through doors. If you never carry Bb, C, and flugelhorn at the same time you will like the standard 2.5.
Why buy the airline?
These bags are guaranteed to follow the strictest airline size rules. Never worry about being too big to be a legal carry-on. You can travel with Bb, C, and picc (or Eb) OR Bb and flugelhorn (ask about our flugel divider.)
Why buy the Quad?
If you need to carry 4 large horns (4 Bbs) you will need the quad.
