"He walks across the film frame, carrying a trumpet case, as Scottie is about to go upstairs to
Elster's office in the shipyard. I read Hitchcock as marking the move from one world to another. He is a Pied Piper, leading Scottie away from the
realistic world, where, as "hard-headed Scot," he has just been tryingrationally to overcome his acrophobia. "

But I believe that is an ear trumpet case.  It's not a trumpet case.  A small point, perhaps, but on such points does interpretation hinge.
