Hey! Mine is Burgundy! But the rest sounds the same. I put a case cover
over it anyway (so no one can ask if it is a Leblanc
case.......sorry....couldn't resist that one Maestro).

BTW, when I bought my first double set of clarinets at WW in 1990, I
didn't need the single cases - I asked what the price of the triple case
was, and the person at the counter checked - it was $175.. The cost of
each single case was $90......so they did a switcheroonie for me......I
lucked out I guess.
