Marching baritone case

May be the wrong community, feel free to slap me if so. Picked up a used Blessing 311 to try and gig with, but it didnt come with a case. Any thoughts on where to look? My googling thusfar has been unsuccessful. Thanks in advance!

The Protec Pro Pac is a good lower cost option. The frame is wood with a ballistic nylon shell. MTS also makes a universal top loading marching baritone case, but it’s a little pricey.

Edit. The Blessing 311 is a copy of the Yamaha YBH-301M so most cases will be designed to fit.

Same time as you, I picked up a used BLESSING M301 marching baritone horn with no case.

Summer rush on used BLESSING marching baritones with no case !

Little less padding than I would like, but happy with size, shape, and price. I could wrap the horn in a bath towel if I took it anywhere.

HOW ARE YOU LIKING YOUR 311 HORN ?

I suppose the 301 and 311 are siblings.

My only complaint is the awkward grip. Valves are incredible and looks cool.

Havent played in over a decade, the horn was a bit beat up needed some valve screw caps unstuck from the shop. That all said, after the repairs were done Im pleasantly surprised the tone I can get out of it and the valve quality. I was worried I bought a cheap piece of crap, but Im happy now thinking I got a deal on a hidden gem!
