Is Marcus Bonna and the stock Rossi case the only option?
Would a soprano sax case work or could it be made to work ... for example, if I wanted to buy a combo tenor sax/soprano sax case and keep them together?
Thanks!

Wiseman could of course make something to accommodate it (and any combination you desire) but at a cost.
I created my own double case from a pelican style hardshell, to house my Rossi Bb and a standard 2 piece A. I can post a picture later if anyone is curious.

That was my thought process here too Robin.
And along those lines it's often useful to use Kaizen type foam, which can be cut out in the shape of that which is being secured.
By no means the only vendor of same:

"Reed and squeak" uk is an option, holds and protects the instruments ok but if I had a Rossi I really liked I would buy it a Wiseman case to keep it happy

I went back and forth a bunch of places. US vendors told me that thanks to the tariffs on Brazil, the cost of a Marcus Bonna would be too much. German vendors had a much more reasonable price on Marcus Bonna, but still was a special order and would take 6-8 months to arrive.
LUCKLY, I ended up snagging an empty Rossi case off of ebay and it's on the way now! Saved a bunch of money and will do the job for what I need (for now!)
I'd LOVE a wiseman, but I'm not ready to spend that money quite yet. Maybe one day, but not quite yet.

I have never heard of the reed and squeak. And that's a GREAT option! If for some reason the ebay purchase doesn't show up well (or it's not as advertised) I will ABSOLUTELY go this route! I learned a new company today! Thanks!!!

I have both of those, each has its own pros and cons...

you're welcome:) based in the UK, I have seen a few in the wild, they clearly have their pros and cons. I personally wouldn't want to keep a rossi in a soft zipped case, it just wouldn't feel safe enough for me, but if it works for you go for it!
