What do you use for the equipment that is not in your trombone case

What do you use for the equipment that you don't put in your trombone case?

What do you put in that bag?

[hyperbolica]

I use a big gym bag. I put folders, tbone stand, wire stand, mutes, rags, lube/water, wind clips, pencils, eraser, mouthpiece brush, small screw driver, change, AA batteries, stand light, mute holder, ball cap, water bottle, reading glasses, sunglasses, business cards, lunch...

It's punishingly heavy, but very gratifying when I pull something out of there that I've forgotten about and someone needed.

I have two Haduka aluminum skin camera cases, 16 x 11x 13 inches. One may have been on ePoop. One or both did come from B&H Audio Video in NY, NY. The cases have endured 20+ years of use and abuse. The silver one is small and medium bore. The black one is for bass and large bore tenor. The Jo-Ral bass trombone mute doesn’t fit In anything. If i am feeling charitable, the bass mute might travel in a small back pack. It has survived two rear end accidents as loose load. The black case with a yellow handle is a Stanley Sortmaster available from some hardware stores. B&H offers similarly sized large plastic cases though they’re a little pricey. Plastic Walmart tubs work for home storage and not so great for the road.

My other cases. I can’t even fit the trombone’s mouthpiece into the mouthpiece compartment due to the width of the rim. My trombone mouthpiece resides enclosed in my trumpet case, as does my slide lube, and my in ear monitors. I only ever use a straight mute for trombone on occasions, it resides dropped into the bell of my euph when it’s in it’s case. Trumpet case also stores valve oil, spare euph and French horn mouthpieces, 2 trumpet and 1 cornet mouthpieces, 3 trumpet mutes, drum sticks, and not sure why but a New York Rangers game puck... Guess no good place to put it after I left my pulp and paper mill job and took it down from my office wall at work. I did throw away the golf ball that came with the trumpet.

I put nothing loose in a trombone case. High use items are in a Stanley Sortmaster. Everything is easy to find and it serves as a crude shadow box for “inventory” after the gig and break down. The mouthpieces are ahown “up” but are loaded completely into vinyl tuba mouthpiece cases before
closing the case. The mouthpieces might survive a 25g impact load without damage. But i’m not going to try it.

I bought a bunch of Home Depot bags for about $1 each. Holds a lot of mutes, folder(s), miscellaneous stuff. They aren't durable and when they develop holes I just replace them.

The mouthpieces ... are loaded completely into vinyl tuba mouthpiece cases before
closing the case.

I swear I use the same tuba mouthpiece cases for my mouthpieces -- including the colors.

For tuba mouthpieces I went to some much higher-end padded and heavy fabric ones (alas, no longer available).

Great minds think alike. Your mind is great. Mine is still thinking.

[ghmerrill]

I've been trying to cut back on the thinking. It's getting to be really fatiguing.

A rollie gatemouth bag fro the thrift store does everything really great.

Bass mutes are too big. they need a separate bag.

[MStarke]

Typically a Protec mutebag that holds (obviously) mutes, music, a smaller bag with oils etc. and some other stuff. It's not perfect as music and trombone stands don't fit and need to be carried separately.

Sometimes I also just take a small backpack, depending on what stuff I need, where I go etc.
