I've been thinking about this since picking up the Sterling Euphonium I have. It came with a hard case, but it's probably close to 20 years old, and more importantly, seems to be held together by dryed out duct tape. The interior compartment for holding items is long gone. It definitely was a quite nice case when new, but the years and apparently junior and high school abuse have taken their toll. It's entirely laminated wood construction, and I was thinking of trying to re-vinyl the outside. However the wood under structure is not really structurally sound. Below is the current state:
So, it seems for a hard case, my two real options are the MTS or the SKB. I definitely like SKB guitar cases, which are nice, and their case looks to be quite streamlined in size. On the downside, I don't see any type of interior compartment to hold anything. The MTS is more roomy inside, and I can test for fit down at Dillon Music. It's also got a nice compartment inside for the usual things like a mouthpiece, oil, rag, etc.
I know some are big on gig bags, but bad experience with guitars and trombones in bags has led me to really prefer hard cases most of the time.
