WHEELED CASE IMPROVES MOBILITY, MANEUVERABILITY
ANAHEIM, CA—The new YAC SHC-43 Sousaphone Case from Yamaha
Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, will
be unveiled at Winter NAMM 2003.
The new case features heavy-duty wheels, making it much more
mobile and easier to maneuver. A separate compartment –
complete with a Velcro bag and wall padding – protects
the bell from "mystery dents" caused by loose mouthpieces
and tuning bits shifting in transit. In addition, a piano style
hinge gives added rigidity to the structure of the case. Draw-bolt
latches and a piano-style hinge with a high-impact ABS plastic
shell make this one of the most rugged and durable cases on
the market.
The case will accommodate both Yamaha sousaphone models, the
YSH-301 and the YSH-411.
"This case is a great example of an idea whose time has
come," says Jim Metz, Wind Instrument product specialist.
"Sousaphone cases have traditionally been very difficult
to transport and maneuver. With a multitude of sousaphones available
today, buying the right case has been very challenging for a
band director. This case changes all of that - it is much more
mobile than other existing sousaphone cases, and it will fit
both models of Yamaha sousaphones making the band director’s
buying decision a bit easier."
The case is currently available.
