 Marigaux Cases
Author: oboe-owl

I recently got my Marigaux 901 serviced for the first time. It's eighteen months old, and this was the first chance I'd had to get it looked at. One of the things I'd had a problem with was my bottom B flat. There was clearly a problem with the mechanism, as I could see that the key wasn't sealing a certain pad properly.

It's working perfectly now, for which I'm very grateful, but the repairer thinks that the problem may have been caused, at least in part, by the Marigaux case, which fits too snugly around the instrument. It had pushed the B and B flat keys too close together. He has altered the case a tiny bit to try to reduce the problem, but he says that it's a known issue with Marigaux cases and suggests using a different one.

I was wondering if anyone here knows any more about this problem. Is it common and is there anything I could do to fix it? If not, is there a particular type of case you would recommend me getting? I have a lovely Bam double case, but that's rather bulky, and I'd rather not have to use it on occasions when I don't need my cor.

Thanks in advance,

Sophie
