Hi,
I've bought an ortola case togehter with my clarinet, because I rent the clarinet first and my dealer mentioned, that it's much cheaper to buy an ortola then to replace a "probably damaged" original B&C case, so I get it w/o knowing anything about clarinets, cases, ...
It has a full size compartment bag in front so it's more thickly than a common clarinet case, and it's a bit larger in length and so of course shorter in width. In my case you need to put the bottom part and the bell in one peace in the case, not such good, but on the other hand it's perfect to place this small stand inside.
It has a very soft lining, but a rather durable frame and a heavy duty nylon(?) skin. I use this cas very often inside of a case of my motor bike, even for longer travel w/o any probs with the clarinet after, I place this case for several times in big duffles when travelling around by train / car / ... all again w/o any prob.
So I really can recommend an ortola case, but sorry I've a Bb clarinet and I really don't know if an A clarinet fits in.
