Dan Leeson is looking for a case. Keith Bowen added:

But these are (very good) bags (ie not hard shell) rather than hard
cases.>>>

Dan --

My recommendation would be to stick with the case that Mr. Fox made for the
instrument. I've seen a bunch of damage done by after-market cases that
don't quite fit. One of my best friends has recently had to have the bell
of his Mark VI alto reshaped; the only misstreatment was putting the case in
the back of his car (it was one of those hard-shell gig bag things).

If you need extra room for stuff, Altieri will make you a case cover with
large pockets on the outside that can hold tons of stuff. The case cover
will hep keep the sexy beast toasty warm, too.

I've had an Altieri case cover (and a "Cavellero" sp?) as well. Both gave
great service. In the old days, all you had to do was call up with the
dimensions of the case, and they would make a cover the fit nicely.

Good luck -- keep that baby safe.
