In observance of the 100 year anniversary, many descendants of the passengers, both survivors and victims of the tragedy reflected on the lives of their ancestors.  Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the Titanic in 1985. Since then, many fact finding voyages to recover artifacts and lost relics have occurred.  Recently on one of the voyages, Anvil Case Company was called upon to build cases that could protect priceless relics recovered from the wreckage. Anvil Iron® our most extreme line of defense, was chosen to do the job. Once again Anvil was there to protect a piece of history.

Most Chevrolet personnel skipped lunch in the IZOD IndyCar Series paddock as they were busy trading out all 11 V-6 engines in cars entered in the 38th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. These replacement engines are protected by Anvil Cases. Our motorsports cases are the most trusted cases in the industry.

We are back from SXSW! The SXSW® Music Conference this year was inspiring with the many SXSW music panels, workshops, speeches, etc. The Anvil/Calzone 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 Anvil/Calzone.

When current DEF LEPPARD/former DIO guitarist Vivian Campbell needs his guitar cases repaired he knows where to go. Anvil Case Co. thats where. We have been protecting musical instruments since 1952.

There is only one case worthy of being on the field with the Superbowl Champions, and that’s Anvil/Calzone.

NAMM 2012 had a great turn out this year! Anvil Case Company had a bunch of incredible Visitors with daily performances by the legendary drummer Bernard Purdie.

We were also visited by famous Bass player TM Stevens from Shocka Zooloo!

Everyone who visited our booth had a great time playing games such as the ring toss and bean bag throw. Elton John (Kenny Metcalf) stopped by to win a free shirt.

The show was filled with Music Legends, Huge Brands, and an ocasional Character or two….

To wrap things up we had a great time at NAMM and can’t wait until next year.

Kick off 2012 with Anvil at the NAMM show January 19 thru the 22nd at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California booth #4849.

The first Anvil cases were designed for traveling musicians who, in the mid 1950′s, turned to electric instruments and sound systems, which were far more prone to damage in transit than their acoustic predecessors. Anvil quickly became synonymous with traveling musicians due to its proximity to the Los Angeles area and its timing with the birth of Rock & Roll.

Anvil Cases Have Allowed The Transport of Vital Equipment and Instruments to Concert Venues Worldwide. Anvil is the number one name in protection for musicians on the go.

It was during the dawn of the 70s that Anvil created the ATA (Air Transport Association) case for the travelling musician, again reinventing an industry. Through the years Anvil has become known worldwide as “the best protection your money can buy.”
