not exactly it..., January 8, 2006
This review is from: Guardian Cases CW-600-FH French Horn (Electronics)
I was quite disappointed by this product. It was said to be reliable in protection to the horn. I am always VERY cautious with my instrument, however, the buckle holding the carrying strap to the case broke and my horn ended up falling and smashing the bell inside the case. Not only did the shoulder strap break, on a second occation the handle strap broke. I did not like having to repair my horn because the case was not durable. The only thing in my case was the horn and a mute, no additional weight was involved. I do not know how the case retails for $150, but I would think twice before purchacing this product. I bought it thinking I would be extra cautious because it was a soft case, but my handling of the horn became a mute point. I would go for a slightly more expensicve, more durable case.

Strap Problems, October 27, 2008
This review is from: Guardian Cases CW-600-FH French Horn (Electronics)
I had this case for a year with no problems, but then the strap broke unexpectedly. Apparently the piece of fabric that attaches the clasp to the body of case was held on with glue; not stitched or however else you would logically secure a load-bearing point. Also, the bell area was slightly too small for the bell of my instrument (Holton).
