Hiscox Baritone horn case

Model: BBH
Hiscox Baritone horn case, Empty Weight: 2.7kg
Compact shaped instrument case utilising the same outer shell design for both tenor and baritone horn, with padded crushed velour interior. The interior mouldings differ in order to firmly hold the two instrument types. The design includes a unique ‘Anti-Tip’ feature which ensures the instrument case will not tip over with the lid open, even with the instrument out of the case

Established in 1985, Hiscox Cases Ltd. is the brainchild of Brynn Hiscox, a professional guitar maker. Being acutely aware of the lack of quality cases on the market, he used his engineering background to design a case that stood up to his exacting requirements. Brynn’s customers demanded cases that had higher protection but with less weight.

HISCOX DESIGN BENEFITS

1. Hiscox Cases are manufactured in the U.K.
2. The products are always manufactured with the primary objective of instrument protection and on average carry a crush resistance rate greater than 500kg.
3. The outer ABS shell material is not only chosen for its high impact resistance. But most of all for the ability to chemically bond to the inner moulding. This is during the manufacturing process and creates an extremely strong yet light weight COMPOSITE structure.
4. The inner moulding of the cases is manufactured from a blend of polyurethane insulating foam which is UNIQUE to Hiscox Cases. It is a closed cell semi-rigid low weight design which gives the following protecting qualities.-
   • High level of shock protection
   • Excellent structural rigidity when bonded to the outer shell
   • A high level of thermal insulation protecting against rapid temperature changes.
   • It is developed to bond directly to the fabric case lining during the manufacturing process, with no use of a secondary adhesive.
5. Aluminium Valance: – Unique to Hiscox design. Although Hiscox cases are not guaranteed waterproof, the double “lip” lid to base mating feature helps to stop water ingress in rain/shower conditions.
   75% of the aluminium rim is hidden from view behind the ABS shell. All of the hardware (except one or two feet) is riveted into this vitally important metal rim.
6. All fixings including the catches and handles are fully tested. It is believed that their security is second to none.
