 New case on the block?
Author: larryb

Anyone yet have experience with a new case: "BAGS" from Spain?

They seem to be in the BAM tradition, though somewhat slimmer and perhaps lighter. Same kind of handle on the double clarinet case. Interior is molded foam - somewhat generic (less defined spaces for clarinet sections). They look nice.

Sounds interesting at least. Is there a website?

no website that I could find. I saw them at Roberto's Woodwinds in New York City, which does have a website, but I don't know if they've posted any pictures/info yet (they just got them in)

If the handle is as good as BAM's, that is saying a lot. If the outer cover will take the beating & wight-pressure load, great. Generic foam bothers me some, because BAM has done some significant testing to their foam product to develop a superior product material. Lots of experimenting. Course that doesn't stop anyone from copying them successfully! Competiton always makes for better products.

WW&BW has a 2X foam case which hasn't done real well, IMO. They are giving them away on eBay (1 at a time) - to avoid REALLY driving the market down!  :)

BAM has a new Hip-Hop (single) Clarinet Case which was brought to market & then quickly recalled. Pricing was/is (??) under $100. Supposedly back in testing.
