[Trombone-l] Case for motorcycle

[Charles DePaolo]

Heather,

I used to ride a bike (Honda 650) with my bass trombone in a gig bag slung 
across my back like a rifle.  Worked very well.  The only way the horn could 
become damaged was if I too was damaged (physically, that is).  Another time 
I taught lessons at a summer camp and commuted every day on the same bike. 
I'd bungee cord a trumpet & clarinet in hard cases to the seat, in addition 
to the bone across the back bit.  Euphonium bags are not all that large, so 
you should be able to get away with it across your back as I did with my 
horn.  Tuba?  Well maybe for that you need to start thinking about a side 
car.

  I'm debating getting a bike (cruiser type).  I have a friend that rides 
his
  with his tuba or his euphonium.  I was wondering if anyone has down this,
  and if so, what type of case do you use - hard, gig bag, etc?

  I currently have a Gig Bag gig bag.  Thanks.

  Heather
