This is probably old hat, but was only shown to me the other day (by Howarths, so it's perfectly safe to your instruments...)
For anyone who has a BAM trekking case and a Eb, it turns out that this case can easily be used as a triple. I have been using it today instead of my FEL triple case, and it's a great improvement in weight and bulk.
It's not even that Heath Robinson...
Wrap your e flat bell and put it in your A bell, it'll stick out a little but because of the extra space at the top of the BAM case it will fit easily...
Assemble the E flat (including barrell) and it will sit very snugly (and upright) in the accessory/mouthpiece section (I padded it just a little). Obviously you'll need to store your mouthpieces seperately (I have a mouthpiece pouch that I just stick elsewhere in the case) but it works very nicely.
p.s. this works with Buffet Toscas and an Opus Eb...

Ha, I know... for 400 bucks it had better help my tone be incredible!
Honestly, I bet it is great... and 400 dollars to protect three instruments is actually a good investment IMHO. (Especially when you consider the likelihood of losing the Eb case... I am very absent minded).

Ha... i'm not the only one! Yesterday alone I lost my backpack, reed case, nalgene bottle, and a pair of socks.
That was just yesterday.
