Re: Bell Attached to Lower Joint [Nut]Cases

In the 60s these were called "French" style. (Some cases had the barrel attached to the upper joint....but these were older.)

Nearly all of the pros used them....lighter, smaller, easier to pack into a briefcase (forerunner of the gig bag--AMG carried a nice tan briefcase and looked like a lawyer in center city Phila). This was the choice of the pros. They assembled the instrument (on stage) and checked the seating of the bell. Notably, there was space for an extra barrel.
Of course, you covered the case with a canvas zippered fitted cover, with leather trim!
