I see this company posting occasionally on some FB groups for custom cases. They look really nice! (And I suspect they are priced commensurately) Wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

Re: Stencel cases?
When I first glanced at this I read "stencil" as in a "no name" manufacturer but after looking at his web site I realized my error. Just to give this a bump. They look nice on his site.

They look nice - would like to see some more pics of the inside of the cases, and wonder if there is a distributer in N. America. Beautiful workmanship.

Re: Stencel cases?
I get the sense this is a small, boutique shop that maybe only does custom orders and probably doesn't have any international distributors. But that's just a guess.CalgaryTbone wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 9:35 am They look nice - would like to see some more pics of the inside of the cases, and wonder if there is a distributer in N. America.

Re: Stencel cases?
They look kind of like the Cronkite cases. Well built, beautiful and stylish, but I wouldn't put my horns in them without expecting them to get dinged up.

Re: Stencel cases?
I used Cronkite bags for a long time (still do for some horns), and never had any dings in the horns. I even had a Ford Explorer for a while where the horn would shift around in the back and on a couple of occasions I forgot to check before opening the back and the horn fell out on to the pavement. No damage, except to my heart! To be fair, I do use an MB now for my main horn, and that has protected it from a slip on the ice and I don't think any gig bag could have done so.
