Annie,

The BAM cases (all of them; I have a trumpet one) are stingy on storage
space because they have more padding. I can appreciate that, but I was
surprised to see only one mouthpiece slot, maybe they assume you use the
same mouthpiece on both horns but are rife with barrels?

Do you have a picture of the inteior of the Yamaha? Is it the hard case
or the soft sided? No one that sells them seems to have any pictures.
Even the Yamaha site has only an exterior shot of a bunch of them and
detail links are dead ends.

Erik
