Here's what I'm after: A bag that I can drop my Buffet Double Pochette case and a small pochette Eb case into.

You can get it custom made.

I can't recommend the Atieri bags highly enough. Amazingly durable, great product.

Thanks guys. Do you think the Double Pocket Style would fit my cases?

I really like the backpack style. T shoulder style hurts shortly after you start using it, so I use it mostly for short trips. So, the double pocket is out if you like comfort. Although, I still fit a lot in the bag. Although, I purchased the attache altieri-bag for my double-pouchette for the extra room.

In the single pocket I carry a Vandoren humidity case (the black digital one), a sandwich Tupperware, ridenour reed system (with glass), and a handful of smaller items.

The bag can take a lot of weight and is very durable.

I tried many bags before this. Avoid the Buffet bags like the plague. They're utter crap. I had one, it broke. 2 friends had them... they broke.

FWIW, I have two Altieri bags--one for my Leblanc double case and the other for a stock Buffet double case. Both are durable, comfortable to carry with a shoulder strap and have large pockets for music and accessories of all sorts, including my Yamaha 681 effer case. However, what I am actually using for my Buffet R13s now is a Yamaha soft side lightweight double case and if I need to carry my Eb, C or both, I simply put them in a Lands End tote bag which also carries my Blayman quad stand, lunch, water bottle, deck of cards, etc. I like the light double Yamaha bag because most of the time, I carry only my double set (A & Bb)--I mean, why carry the effer and the C around all the time if you don't need them?? Just my thoughts....

Honestly, nowadays, I just use a backpack. Not backpack-style, an actual backpack designed for kids going to school. A clarinet case is small enough to fit in one, and there's plenty of little pockets attached to it to put a reed case, screwdriver kit, tuner, extra barrels, music fits in the main compartment with the clarinet, and there's usually dedicated slots for pens and pencils.

Cheap and has been working grreat for me for the past 5 years.
