New bass clarinet cases

Any recommendations for a basic case for a bass clarinet?

I picked up my new 60 year-old bass clarinet along with it's original case earlier today. The instrument is in good shape but the case has definitely seen better days and I'd like to replace it with something that isn't falling apart.

The clarinet is a Pedler Custombuilt and is a 5-piece setup. That being said, I have heard (but can't confirm) that the upper joint on Pedler BC's is longer than normal on won't fit in standard 5-piece cases without modifications so I may be concentrating on cases for 1 piece body instruments. Unfortunately none of my local music shops carry cases for bass clarinets so I'm going to have to mail order one. Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
