Without a doubt, if you can afford it - Wiseman.

I've used their Bass + 2 soprano case and 4 x Soprano (any four - can
vary) for a while and they are fantastic. Comes with music pocket and
can be carried on your back.

An investment though!

Subject: [kl] Double case recommendations

I'm sure this must come up every so often, but I was at the music store
yesterday and was not impressed with the double cases. They had an old
used Bufet case, but it required the lower joint and bells to be
attached to fit. The ProTec case seemed very hard and stiff inside. The
BAM was great, but although it had spots for two barrels for each horn,
there was only one mouthpiece pocket, you'd have to store the second in
the shnat compartment (or cut and rework fabric and foam). Any
recommendations on other brands that hold a Bb and an A along with two
mouthpieces and has plenty of room for accessories (reeds for both,
swab, tuner, tools, etc), large music pouch on the outside, etc?
