Make that three, Ormondtoby :-)

I use a little hard plastic Yamaha case inside a khaki colored canvas
bag that was intended for a laptop but it's got all kinds of zippered
pockets for gadgets and doodads, the cell phone pouch is even
perfect for my clarinet stand!

Of course this is not a double case, but it's great when I am only
taking one instrument with me.
