Is there such thing as a triple clarinet case? Bb, A, Eb? My teacher said that would be difficult to find. She said to ask here to see.

Clarchick - check the archives (via the search button) for "Bonna".
You will see threads regarding the Marcus Bonna double case, which can easily hold three (and sometimes four) clarinets:

Since I do not really need my effer that often, I choose to stick with my lightweight soft-side double case and carry my extra clarinets--C or Eb--in their separate cases, if needed, via a Lands End bag. It also carries my Blaymann clari stand, lunch, mosquito spray, water botts, etc. I know, the effer is not that heavy, but why cart it along if it is only played infrequently?? Just my "dimes worth".......it's up to you.

I second the Bonna Case. It is advertised as a double but fits the Eb clarinet in its accessories compartment perfectly. It's also smaller than any other double case I've ever had.

I bought a hardcover case that has foam in it. You can cut the foam to accomodate whatever clarinets and accessories you want.
The attached picture is a demo case by a clarinet company that they custom cut to fit barrels and mouthpieces. A similar case could fit three clarinets, mouthpieces, whatever you feel, in whatever configuration you want.
The cases can be bought at various places online (for example, PELICAN is a popular brand for custom cases, and you can get many different dimensions and cut the foam however you want, you can get a cheap aluminum case at harbor freight, home depot, or other home improvement or tool stores, etc.)

I have a triple case Berp bag that I love. It's super lightweight and easy to carry on my back! The price is reasonable too, all things considered (especially compared to other cases). I've had it a few years now and it's still in good shape! Here's a website for them:

Hmmm....$300 for a production triple case or about $50 for an aluminum case you design to carry your own equipment....
It IS your call. But for something that takes a knife, a little time, and saves me 250 smackaroos (a year's worth of reeds, a new custom mouthpiece, a backun barrel, whatever you want to equate the savings to), I'm going to do the little bit of work.
But yes, it's your call.

The custom aluminum case-what company made that? If one was available to purchase I would consider. My cutting skills I am sure would not be up to par for my instruments, haha!
