I have one I got last September. In addition to all the ways to carry it, it has a cinch belt around the middle, about the level of the shoulder strap. I believe it is there to tighten up the bag around the horn for backpacking. Perhaps your bag does not have this, if it is an older copy. You could go to a camping store or department and get a web belt long enough to go around with a clamping buckle. After the horn is in the bag, tighten the starp around it. That should keep it from wobbling around.

BTW: my bag has a loop sewn on it that I can't figure out. I is about six inches long, doubled over and sewn into the seam below the carry handle. The way it is sewn, it is angled toward the bell end. I've tried to imagine what it is intended for and I can't fathom it. Any speculation is invitied. Real information would also be appresiated.
