The fact that the case is worn means that the case was used alot and probably
did it's job of protecting the instruments. Besides which, alot of pros just
shove the case wherever when they are on the road after the instruments have
been taken out. Buy the clarinet. There are too few good A clarinets out
there. If this did belong to a symphony musician, then the case is probably
the worst one he had to get rid of, and think of all those wonderful trips it
could tell you about if you just bent your ear down to it and gave a
listen...<g>
