Fab bag. Trialed it last night during a caroling gig and it came up trumps. If you don’t use the inner sleeve then there’s a lot of room in the main compartment for spare clothes, drinks, food etc in addition to the instrument itself. All the pockets and compartments are most helpful as I now know exactly where to look for any item I need -as oppose to digging around in a rucksack.
The bag looks and feels bombproof too- time will tell, but I’m confident this will last a very long time.
After years of use, it’s still the best pipe case out there. Worth every penny.
With previous busking events and a future coffeehouse tour in the plans, and my current nomadic lifestyle between houses in two countries, I thought a great and practical Ukulele travel bag would be a good fit for me. Fusion Bags out of the UK make this very sturdy double tenor bag, two Ukuleles, one bag. With having both a Klos 4 string and a Klos 8 string I use both for live performance, this seemed a perfect fit! I’ve just now gotten to test this bag out and here’s my thoughts:
- so much thought and practicality went into making this bag, and it shows!
- Bulky, dense padding for the most delicate of instruments
- Rugged shoulder straps comparable to a high end hiking backpack and hardy handles for various carrying choices.
- Added rubbery material on the lower halve
- Great zipper pulls easy to find
- both storage compartments open in opposite directions.
- concert and tenor sized ukuleles
- padding inside to custom fit to your instrument.
- Padded neck holder with wrap around fabric to hold the instrument inside, no sliding or bouncing around.
- Two large pockets on the front of the bag which hold all kinds of stuff
- The option to add an additional bag to the front (sold separately)
- A rain cover included!
- Large loopholes on the zippers for travel locks!
Now, since I was only travelling from one house to another and the bag was travelling in my truck, I did bring my Vox mini guitar which ALMOST fit! I took some padding out (all zippered in and can be put back once I’m done) but the tippy top is hanging out by about an inch. Maybe I can find a guitar that’s 30” or less???
Overall, I am thrilled with this bag which will get a lot of work in the future. Busking and live performances are currently on hold while I focus on family obligations but in the future I can’t wait to travel with knowing my instruments are safe and secure!
Thank you Fusion (Wendy and Sara) for all your help and care!
Well designed and well made bag. Plenty of room for my Trumpet and Flugelhorn and all the kit that you need with them
I changed cases as my old case was making my shoulder ache. This has so much storage space and makes life easier carrying it on my back. It’s very well made and looks the part!
Great bag - bought for my partner who loves it. Plenty of pockets and space for wallets, keys etc as well.
All of the Fusion bags are well designed and well made. It's a great bag - the outside side pocket for a music stand is a lovely touch. Why isn't it 5 stars? I think you would struggle to get three trumpets in there, especially if you wrapped them in the trumpet sleeves (which are also good btw). So a fraction more width would be very welcome. It's not a small bag. The back pack straps are extremely comfortable, as is the shoulder strap. So a fantastic bag for two trumpets, but just a bit cramped for three.
I’ve had one of these for a couple of years and gigged with it every week. It’s sturdy, spacious and totally trustworthy. I needed to start taking 4 guitars to my shows so the obvious choice was Fusion again and bought another. Buying British was a bonus.
I purchased the Urban Triple Trumpet bag about 18 months ago. It is an excellent case. I easily carry a Bb trumpet, Bb Cornet, and a Flugal horn to rehearsals. It carries all of my equipment, except mutes, and is easy to access. It is my go to case. I have the medium Fuse-On bag attached as a mute case. I would consider purchasing a second case, but shipping to the US at this time is not cost effective.
I can highly recommend the Cornet Sleeve my Geneva Oldroyd Cardinal Cornet fits in there perfectly.
Partnered with a triple Trumpet bag it provides perfect protection against scratches and dents when also carrying mutes,mouthpeices,music and stands.
I can also recommend Fusion Bags for their versatility what they can hold and how you can carry them.
Their customer service is also very helpful in the way they helped me choose the right bag for me.
If you value your instrument like I do you can't get better protection for it.
Can't imagine there's a better travel case out there. It's the very reason we subjected ourselves to the cosltly tariffs to acquire the best one in the world! The Fusion premium trumpet bag is made with love and care- strong zippers and a wonderful, included sleeve help protect my son's trumpet on any trip, and it's worry free in this bag. Just enough room to take a tablet computer and all the trumpet accessories too. If you're on the fence, just get it. You won't be disappointed, and if the trumpet is nice, you need to invest in protecting it!
Although this case is larger than most euphonium cases, causing some humour from fellow players, it is really comfortable to wear, with a proper rucksack harness/padding. The instrument is well protected. Good number of useful pockets. Well made so far.
This is more than just a gig bag. It is an excellent piece of kit. If it lasts as long as my other Fusion bass bag (17 years?) I'll be very pleased.
I like the bag very much but it would benefit from two wheels on the base when travelling on long journeys. Pulling similar to a case.
Was bought this as a Birthday gift . Excellent bag . Loads of useful storage and really well made .
I bought this bag a few weeks ago…. The bag is very well made. The slide sleeve is great except I find the stud fastener needs a lot of force to close…. 2 elasticated straps could be added to the side to facilitate carrying a trombone stand…
Before getting this guitar case I had a hard guitar case with just a handle and had an extra case with all the other bits, my iPad , footstool , microphones and cables , bits and bobs. With the fusion case it all fits nicely in the compartments , eliminating the need for an extra bag and I can easily carry it on my back. It has made things so much easier for me .Thanks for an amazing product.
I appreciate the reminders but I have already left feedback. The bag is very good if you want me to say it again.
Only negative is the constant reminders to give feedback.
Just to say it again, the constant reminders to leave feedback are the only negative.
I won't say it again if you don't remind me again.
I promise
Unless you remind me again
Then I will
Better than wrapping the trumpet in a towel. It’s a tight fitting sleeve that gives some protection to the instrument within my rucksack while allowing me to squeeze in a music stand, iPad, trumpet stand and a couple of mutes. Tempted by the triple bag, however I don’t think it’ll take my 4 valve, large bell diameter flugelhorn.
Bag is heavy, but only as heavy as it need to be. It’s super robust, really well built and every aspect has been thought through meticulously. Worth the extra money for a top product.
The bag is really well made and comfortable on your back when carrying it around to gigs in the city. The 3 front pockets should be bigger or just one single big pocket. I'm often worried that I'm going to rip a zip when fitting multi-effetcs pedal, cables, ipad, ipad clip in my bag.
I’m proud to say I’ve been Fusion customer since the very early days of the company (2008!) It’s the only bass bag I’ve owned since then and it still out performs every other bag on the market. I regular fly and gate check the bag with total confidence. No fighting for overhead compartment space and eliciting grimaces from fellow travelers. My instrument stays cozy and safe. 10 out of 10. Thanks Fusion!
