Selmer still makes the Vanguard Traypack case, but it is $250 or so. I was
very fortunate to pick up a used one on eBay recently. It was quite handy
for the pit gig I just did, since that full case plus my soprano case was
all I needed. Perversely, I find that my Selmer Series 10 does not fit
well into that clarinet case. The bell is too big around to allow the lid
to close properly, although I can still shut the sax case on it.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
