Hey everyone,

I was just admiring the looks of David Charvet's "Jack Gwynne Trunk Illusion"... I know David Charvet is on the Café; however, I wanted others pros and cons of this trunk. I would be using it for a subtrunk...

Can it be locked or is it secured by straps?

I have a Top-**** on my packing crate escape....how does this compare? I love the ATA style of it...as all the other Charvet pieces... is it aesthetically appeasing or is it a functional carry-all trunk?

Last- is there a diamond-plate trunk on the market much like this one? Just curious? (NOTE:I have seen David Cannon's... it's not what I was looking for!)

Thanks to all!
Bryan

Bryan, Be aware that the Jack Gwynne Trunk works differently than a regular Sub. Trunk with a top ****. I had an original Gwynne trunk. I only used it on a few shows because of the method.

I bought a Gwynne Trunk from Charvet years ago. I had the effect in my show for about 3 years and was very pleased with it. I highly recommend it.

Why not write David and ask him straight up? I am sure that he will give you an honest answer.

I have one being built for me currently. I don't know many details yet as it's a Christmas gift from my father, but I know the craftsmanship on the Hospitality I ordered recently is beautiful. David is very helpful with any questions you may have, so don't hesitate to contact him.

I had one for a while and it is great because it is smaller than most.
I too like the ATA look - it is more up to date. But the method is different and it won't support you standing on it if that's what you would like to do. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help everyone. Do you recommend anyone else for an ATA-style trunk that would support me (I am 175 lbs. and 6'-1") I like the idea of a top load but that is only because that is what I am familiar with...maybe a different method would be better?

The trunk is built for David by Mark Evans who has made a number of things for me and the quality is wonderful

Do you have a contact number or address for Mark? If so, please PM me...

Contact David if you want the trunk. If you need Mark for something else, I am sure David can help you.
