Calzone & Anvil builds custom ATA flight cases for every brass and woodwind instrument on the stage, in the pit and on the road. From a single trumpet case to a fleet of marching band sousaphone cases, each one is engineered to your instrument's exact dimensions and built by hand at our American manufacturing facilities.

Whether you're a touring musician, university music department, military band, community orchestra or instrument dealer, we design protection that fits because no two instruments are exactly alike.
