I have one mouthpiece case I got from that auction site that holds 16 mouthpieces\barrels and is a metal case, something like a gun case. It is full...
I can no longer find these cases and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get cases for multiple mouthpieces that are sturdy, reliable, and not crazy expensive?

I looked on that auction site just now and found a lot of affordable plastic pistol cases. Also, you are in Texas, so I assume you can get gun cases rather easily at your local Sporting Goods stores.
I have a plastic pistol case for mouthpieces (holds about 8 I guess) and it has lasted me over ten years. Well worth the $15 I paid for it.

You might want to check with some of the mouthpiece makers who sell their wares on this site and ask them where they get their cases. I know Walter Grabner has some nice cases for displaying and transporting his pieces, so you might want to ask where he got them. You can see them in a photo on his site under the Mouthpiece section. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but it never hurts to ask.

Anybody who's filled up a case that loads 16 mouthpieces/barrels is a worse parts junkie than I am. Golly, that makes me feel so much better about justifying my next fix, oops, I mean purchase.... ![[tongue]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie6.gif)

Hi Nathan
For mouthpiece cases I use plastic fishing tackle boxes. As luck would have it the standard tackle box has six compartments, each the size of a mouthpiece.
They are light, sturdy and cost only a few loons.
(I just bought a house and when I moved I threw out half a dozen of these tackle boxes because they had sat around unused for years.)

YES, I use the fishing tackle boxes also. I slip short pieces of bicycle innertubes over the end to protect the tip and keep them from rattling around.
