That's a good idea, Doug, but I haven't checked into it yet. Other than the latches, the case itself is in good shape.
The latches ain't that great, even though Lee straightened them out and got them to work. Can't lock the horn to take it on a plane as checked luggage, anyway (not that I have a need to do that.) I did make an out of state bus trip with it for a concert performance with our local wind symphony, and I just fastened the latches, put a short strip of duct tape over each one, and then fastened a couple of fabric tiedowns that had been cut to appropriate lengths around the case as a "backstop." Worked pretty well, but for the duct tape residue.
