I cant be the only one here that doubles on Bb and Eb soprano and am tired of lugging around two cases. Ive check ProTec but they dont seem to have one. Anyone know of a case dealer that sells them? Blake

Usually, you need to buy a "tri-case" which holds all three: Bb, A & Eb. However, a friend of mine made his own Bb/Eb case from a gun case--just customized the interior to hold clarinets instead of weapons--of course, to some of his audience members, this may be a point of conjecture :>) Good clarineting.

Won't swear to it, but didn't LeBlanc make a Bb/Eb case? I know that your local music dealer can order one from Badger State....don't have my catalogue handy to get you the stock number.

Blake,
The Badger State case for Bb/Eb is B-203. The retail price is not too cheap....$230, but your dealer may be able to discount it for you. Described as "a combination case for Bb and Eb with compartment in the cover for music and an accessory compartment. Hard shell case w/ deluxe lining." I also saw a Bb/Eb listed in the WW&BW, but not too much description was offered. You may want to call them and get the "skinney" on it.

Mark: - you may want to move this to the Resources list under "Cases." I don't know what else they carry/sell, I was just interested in the Bb/Eb case.

Badger State is strictly wholesale. You will have to go through a music dealer to order.

I'm not sure if it's still in their catalogue, but WW&BW used to have an Eb/Bb case listed in their "replacement clarinet cases" section. If i remember it was something like $120ish. I would give them a call and see if they still carry it. I personally use the Orly triple case. Very lightweight (much lighter than the Leblanc double cases) and it's similar to the BAM cases but much higher quality. The triple case from Orly is a bit pricy though. I paid $300 (tax included) about 3 years ago.

Thanks for everyone's help. I ordered a Badger State case for $120 from WW&BW folks who carried it and had in stock. Blake
