This is a semi-hard case for a Marcato Flugelhorn. Marcato Flugelhorn cases come in two types: one made only of styrofoam, which is not very durable, and another sturdy type that uses high-quality nylon over a solid frame. This is the latter, more robust type. I believe the durability is of high quality, comparable to Protec cases. It can be carried horizontally or vertically, has front storage, and can also be carried on your back. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details or seek perfection. Shipping will be via either Rakuraku Mercari Bin or Yu-Yu Mercari Bin. It will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap before shipping.
