Author: Ryder
Date: 2008-04-02 03:22

My case is about to explode! Besides i need another layer of protection from the elements and extreme climate changes here in texas.I am looking for a case bag to fit a buffet attache (R-13) case. It needs to have good storage for accessories and some music. Any sugestions?
I am hoping to spend no more than $100.

thanks

Altieri covers are great.

I went to REI (the outdoor goods place) and found an amazing bag (waterproof, sealed seams, lots of practical storage, tough zippers, insulation+padding) for my clarinet case, for under $50.

This is the bag my kids use:

With all that weight a Back Pack might work

Second the Altieri bags. They take punishment quite gracefully.

A real case cover will have insulation that will protect from sudden temperature changes that a non instrument bag won't provide

But the REI bag if its insulated is a good buy.

Another vote for altieri although I am still dreaming of the perfect bag with respectable backpack strap and frame so I can carry all my gear on my bicycle. I have now resorted to a thin case cover and a hiking backpack.

Mine is the backpack version.

What's missing from it?

I carry my buffet double attache case on my back on my bicycle for about 30miles/week. I have the altieri backpack version and it is fine if you need to walk from your car to rehearsal, or from class to practice room, but for long term use it digs into my kidneys and hurts my shoulder. I resorted to a hiking backpack as my back is more important to me than my clarinets, at least for now

This being said it is the sturdiest cover I have had with nice insulation.

I am dreaming of a case cover that I coudl easily attach to an external frame hiking backpack or something like this.

I may have to build it myself, unless somebody volunteers?
