For 60 years, Anvil Cases has enjoyed strong brand recognition and leadership by manufacturing the finest hard-shell  cases in the world. In fact, Anvil Cases have become the standard by which cases are measured. The now revered Anvil name was conceived for its strength and resilience.

Over the past 60 years Anvil’s superior products have protected life’s special moments, unforgettable events and lasting memories. From protecting the birth of rock & roll to protecting space flight It is for that reason, Anvil will continue making history. For this the people at Calzone would like to thank everyone that has made Anvil Case Co. the Iconic brand that it is today.

Norah Jones wowed audiences at SXSW 2012 this year.  Norah uses Calzone Cases for her band and her own wardrobe.  Her guitarist Jason Roberts from Brooklyn,  just had a case made for his Jazzmaster guitar.

Green Sky Bluegrass also uses Calzone Cases.   We are making a case for the harmonium right now.

The Calzone/Anvil  booth in the Gear Alley was buzzing with grizzled music vets, wide-eyed newbies and a host of bands looking to protect their musical instruments with the best cases money can buy. This year’s keynote Bruce Springsteen was amazing, and amazingly enough his band was spotted discussing cases with our Pro Tour manager Linda Tilson at the Hyatt Regency. Other speakers included Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart who also use Anvil Cases to protect their gear. Over 16,000 music industry professionals attended SXSW gear alley’s workshops and more. SXSW 2012 is a major international event that offered an unmatched opportunity to talk about music and expand contacts throughout the industry. Bands from Australia , Japan, England , France and all over the US visited our booth at Gear Alley and we would like to thank all of them for making this another great SXSW for Calzone/Anvil.

Calzone/Anvil Case Company® returns to SXSW this March 13-17th where we will be showcasing at Gear Alley in the Austin Convention Center. Come visit us at booth number 401- 500 and get the best pricing on cases for your musical instruments, monitors, racks cases or for that matter any application. Celebrating our 60th anniversary we will be giving away a special edition Black On Black Attache daily.

There’s only one case worthy of being on the sidelines with the G Men during the biggest game in the sport, and that’s Calzone/ Anvil.

Speaking of famous drummers, we also had the great drummer for Rod Stewart, Carmine Appice, hanging out with us.

We also had the Owner of Calzone/Anvil Cases Joe Calzone doing a little drumming as well.

Then Kenny Metcalf of Elton John: The Early Years came by to show us his Dodgers outfit.

There was never a dull moment at the Calzone Booth. We were constantly having performances, games and visitors. The president of NAMM, Mr. Joe Lamond even stopped by to join the fun.

We had a great time this year and cannot wait until next year!

There was no Lego snake in his boot, however.

Calzone Case Vice President Vin Calzone had the opportunity to travel to Marine Barracks, Washington D.C. to assess the equipment of the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, Corps Silent Drill Platoon, and Color Guard to determine how to make sure their instruments and gear made it around the country safely. The Drum and Bugle Corps travel more than 50,000 miles and perform in over 400 events annually, so it made sense to trust Calzone to protect their instruments and equipment. The Corps Silent Drill Platoon, which perform a unique silent precision drill with M1 Garand rifles,  also travel extensively between Washington D.C., training in Yuma, Arizona, and around the country for various performances. Here at Calzone we’re proud and honored to supply the Marines with serious protection for their instruments throughout their travels and performances.
