Nice, usable bag. Seems decently built for the money. Holds all but the very largest music folders with adequate padding. I hold a straight, cup, and plunger with a large water bottle. Could really use some small pockets for pencils, glasses, lube, mouthpiece etc. I use an old zipper pouch. You will lose things in the bottom if you don’t.

Well-made bag. Easily holds two mutes, my music folder and miscellaneous accessories like my tuner, stand light, etc. I play British Baritone in a brass band and this is a perfect size for me.

Love the adjustable separators: the velcro does the work! I like that it's size is comfortable to carry around and it usually fits under a chair.The shoulder strap and the clip are a nice touch as well.

I have been avoiding buying this bag for ~10yrs because I assumed it wasn't actually big enough to fit all of my mutes. Now i feel stupid. It's the PERFECT size, and uses the space in my trunk very efficiently due to the smaller length/width footprint but increased height. And the best part: music folders fit!For those on the fence, this is what I currently have in this bag (with a lot of room to spare):• bass trombone jo-ral bucket• bass trombone h&b stone lined straight• bass trombone Dennis wick cup• bass trombone sshhmute practice mute• plunger• black pleather big band folder• iPad w/case• slide lube, stand light, plexi stand clips, etc.I don't use the dividers since I don't care if my mutes get dented. If you use the dividers, you might only be able to fit 2 mutes, or maybe 3 if it's something like a solotone, straight, and cup.I have two wishes for this bag:1. I wish it had a small additional front pocket on top of the front one for sheet music, preferably with some organization for pencils, slide lube, water, stand light, etc.2. Instead of backpack strap holders, I wish it had some way to attach a sturdy folding music stand (such as Peak). It has a clip, which sort of works for this purpose.This was 10000% worth replacing my $20 giant nike bag, and I wish I did it sooner.

I wanted this bag for a use other than simply mutes. Although I do have a mute in it at times. It came with a base board I recommend you use for stability, and two padded dividers with velcro each side ends so you can put them wherever you want or remove them completely.This bag is so large it fits my trombone stand, music stand, clarinet stand, DW straight mute with a padded divider around it in the corner, my clarinet case and Tambourine. There is still some room!! Then the front pocket fits two thick church music books (the source and Hymns old and new, if you wish to look those up to get an idea of how thick) and that is one on top of the other not side by side although side by side is possible too. Or, if I am going RAF practice then the books are swapped out for a thick plastic file folder. (divided filing system organiser wallet style) also room for more items such as glasses case and one of those card envelope folders with a lot of papers inside.I saw some reviews saying that their trombone stand doesn't fit in. I have a K&M one and it folds down enough to only just fit in if I put it in first, then everything else on top. It lays flat in the bottom along the back wall, not diagonal. So it is possible to find a stand that fits. I haven't used both padded dividers, just one and that is over one side in the corner. I can't attach it from one side of the case to the other (back wall to front wall) because the trombone stand it in the way. So for me it is in a rounded L shape, attached to the front wall and the side wall inside the bag. I could use the other one in the othe corner or right next to the one already installed but I wouldn't then fit my clarinet in. I would need a shorter divider if I wanted to attach it to the front wall and bottom with the smaller mutes under it. Then I might just get away with the clarinet in the bag. I don't have a shorter one which is a shame.I invested in a backpack strap for it, which was advertised on a card attached to the bag. Very expensive strap I thought but once it arrived I thought it worth the money. It was easy to fit and works well with the bag. My only gripe us that it is fitted sideways to the bag so whe you wear it the base/bottom becomes the side and the side becomes the bottom of the bag. I do wonder how long the bag will last with using it this way because the base board only fits in the bottom and when in backpack mode all my stuff weighs down on the side wall of the bag. How long before the stands rub a hole through it?! A base board for the side would have been a good idea. That said, there is no room for one if I want to carry the trombone stand! I do plan to try to cut out a cereal card box and cover it in black material to see if I can make my own base barrier for the side. If I can make it strong enough yet thin enough then the stands can rub on that and damage that instead of the side wall of the bag to give the bag a longer life.As a musician there is nothing like finding a good sized bag that is just the right width, depth and shape for your needs.I have a fully collapsible music stand, not the solid orchestra style that has the solid sheet music shelf with round holes. However, I don't see why this wouldn't be big enough to fit one in if you take the music shelf part off of the pole and legs which fold down. But you would have to measure the stand first and compare it the the measurements of the bag to make sure.

I needed a bag not only large enough to accommodate my mutes and tbone stand, but an over-sized orchestral music folder. The zippered side pocket is perfect for my the over-sized folder and has plenty of room to add another, smaller, but thicker one. Being able to unzip down the sides makes it a breeze to slip folders in and out.Unless you need a slimmer profile, be sure to install the bottom reinforcement "panel". It keeps the bag at full width, and (miraculously) upright when you set it down on the floor next to your chair no matter how unbalanced it has been packed. The first time I set it down with the very heavy folder in the side pocket, I expected it to flop over. It didn't, and in fact is remarkably stable. No matter what you have in the bag, music, or stand, it will remain upright, making it so much easier to set up at the beginning of a rehearsal or performance.The only suggestion I would have for improvement would be to add some sort of external mechanism to secure a tbone stand that doesn't break down into two pieces. My K&M and Hamilton one piece stands are too tall to be enclosed inside the bag. It is not a problem, however, to place them at enough of an angle to limit how much of the stand protrudes through the top zipper, even with a (tenor) cup and straight mute inside. There is still plenty of room for at least another mute and accessory bag. Having the separate side pocket for music relieves any anxiety about getting music wet walking through the rain with the top zipper not able to be fully closed around the stand.

Large, well-designed mute bag. Clips onto a gig bag easily. Simultaneously holds just about every mute I could possibly use on a gig : tenor straight, bass straight, tenor cup, bass cup, solotone, harmon (tenor), 2 plungers, 3 softone buckets.

I bought this bag to hold 5 mutes for my tenor trombone, a JoRal cup, JoRal straight copper, a JoRal bucket, a Harmon, and a plunger. It works perfect with room to spare - I could probably fit a cardboard straight mute and a pixie mute inside as well. The velcro dividers work very nicely inside the main compartment. I place the bucket and Harmon in the same section, and it you want to do that too, and if you care about keeping your mutes dent and scratch free - then I recommend using a mute sock on one of the mutest. There is room for a 9 x 12 music folder, battery powered stand lights, and a music stand mute holder in the zippered compartment, along with pencils, and other various things you might need on a gig. My only wish was for a nice way to attach my trombone stand to the mute bag - maybe with some kind of velcro straps or something on the side. That would be a nice improvement overall to the bag. I highly recommend this bag, there is plenty of padding, and it's very sturdy. Good job, ProTec!

I ordered this mute bag to use as a carry-all to rehearsals and performances. Although it is a little on the large side (for a trumpet player) this bag holds everything. It comes with 2 dividers (making 3 compartments in the bag) a shoulder strap and I.D. tag. The side pocket is big enough to hold a large concert folder (12" x 14") and if you put it spine-side-down, you can zip the pocket even on a thick folder further protecting your music from loss or the weather. I can easily carry every mute in my arsenal (8 for shows) an AMT wireless mic rig, tuner, big stand light, extra batteries-AC cord, oil/grease, lap cloths and it has a clip for a water bottle thingy. The bag material is heavy enough that it'll stand up on it's own, especially with the 2 dividers in place. Sure, it's overkill for a trumpet player, but I firmly believe that I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Strangely, reported dimensions vary on the M-402, but this bag is about 19" x 15" x 8" which would be "roomy" for a trumpet or tenor trombone player. Typical PROTEC quality. The only thing I would add would be an opposing or end-panel exterior pocket for pencils and such, but considering the volume of this bag, and it's only a little over $40-you'll get by just fine as it is.
