FIT

The standard model Wiseman case fits most models of horn.

• Yamaha: We recommend Yamaha owners buy the Model B instead.
• Triple horn owners might also get a better fit with the Model B.
• Conn 8D owners will need a special piece of interior foam.

Please contact us before purchase to guarantee the fit of your horn.
