Overview
This Glenn Cronkhite Trombone Travel Case is a lightly used estate example in black Cordura and in excellent condition. These cases were designed for professional players who need reliable protection in a compact, lightweight format that is easy to carry to rehearsals, gigs, and flights.
The case includes the signature removable outer slide compartment, allowing safe storage of the handslide while keeping the overall case slim and travel-friendly. It comfortably fits trombones up to an 8″ bell, including instruments similar in size to a Bach 36B bell section, but is best suited for straight jazz trombones without F-attachment.
This example is very clean, shows minimal signs of use, and is ready for daily professional travel.
Player Perspective
Cronkhite travel cases became popular with working trombonists because they balance protection and portability. For players commuting frequently or flying with carry-on gear, this design keeps weight down while still protecting the instrument properly.
The removable slide compartment is especially useful for players who want extra slide protection or prefer separate storage during travel.
