A Closer Look: Protec Trumpet Mute Bag

My mute collection had grown over the past few months and I needed something suitable to store and transport them in. I had a look on the internet and found a few options, the only problem is I didn't know how big they were and how many mutes I would fit in them. I came across Protec and found two options:

I decided to take a chance and go with the smaller one (M400) mainly because of the price.

I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, it is a lot bigger than I was expecting and is able to hold all of my mutes. It is also lightweight and well padded.

The bag is large enough to fit at most 5 or 6 mutes (if you stack them right!) but is perfect to take the essentials with you. The shoulder strap is detachable and there is also a clip on the back which allows you to fit it onto any gig bag.

The divider inside is adjustable to allow separation of mutes and can also be removed completely. Overall a good buy!

This particular bag has been recently updated, with the addition of an external pocket. Have a look at here.

Take a Look: Protec Deluxe Padded Triple Mouthpiece Pouch

I received a new product last month - the Protect Deluxe Triple Mouthpiece Pouch. I have been using it for just over a week and thought I would give my thoughts on it and give you some pictures.

It is a well padded case and I know that my mouthpieces are very well protected. It is however a little larger than I was expecting, about the size of a CD. It does fit nicely in the front of my gig bag but it could be more compact in my opinion.

The outer material is a fake leather which seems very durable and the inside is well padded and non-abrasive - which makes this pouch perfect for travelling.

Overall I think that this mouthpiece pouch is very good quality and will be long lasting. If the size doesn't bother you, I would highly recommend it! It is also good value for money at about £12.
