[TPIN] Protec Triple Ipac (Should read :: iPac Triple Trumpet Case with Wheels)

[Michael Anderson]

The Marcus Bonna triple is very flexible and will take any combination of
three horns or trumpet/flugel with no problem. I wish he'd make one with
wheels. For that you can get the Gaard triple case with wheels, but there
isn't nearly as much protection as there is in the Bonna. You can get Bonna
cases from Thompson Music, who's proprietor is a TPIN member.
