The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Yamaha Case

Author: blazian  Date:   2008-07-09 02:56 Not much help, but I'm guessing it's closer to being a gig bag type of case by the fact that it's covered with Cordura and it has strap rings. Looking at the other posts, I think my guess is a little off... - Martin Post Edited (2008-07-10 18:24)

Re: Yamaha Case

Author: blazian  Date:   2008-07-10 18:23 Oh, well in that case it's just like the Allegro case. A case cover is available in leather (or maybe pleather, I never scratched it deep enough) for the Allegro case with a pocket on the outside big enough for carrying a few boxes of reeds and a mouthpiece or a screwdriver set and a tuner. I've stood, thrown, and jumped on my case before. It's very sturdy. It fits the clarinet perfectly, so if something's bent, you'll know. The only problem that I have with it is that after about three years of using it several times a day, every day, one latch became fractionally loose. I use my case cover for extra insurance. The case is 13 inches long, 6.5 wide, and 2.5 thick on one end and flares to 3.5 on the other for the bell. It weighs about 3.5 lb. with my clarinet, 3 mouthpieces (2 plastic, one metal), a Rovner, and 5 reeds. Oh, and an anti-tarnish strip . It weighs 4 lb. with the case cover. It's so much lighter and smaller than most cases, I wouldn't trade it for any other kind. - Martin Post Edited (2008-07-12 00:17)
