"The Protec case is 14.5" wide, left to right, inside. The later style, Buffet attache cases are about 13.5" wide, so that's fine. The less expensive case that seems to come with the later E11s is just over 13", so again, fine. However the early, luggage style cases, like I'm dealing with, are over 15" wide. They won't fit in the ProTec bag, if the advertised dimensions are correct. I do see your post about your E horn fitting. Just concerned this is going to be too snug."

I had the same issue; the older 60s-type cases are very wide. I ended up going with Altieri because they could make one for me custom. You simply send the measurements and they whip it right up. My case still looks brand new. Besides everyone commenting how huge my case is, it looks very nice.
Even if I wasn't worried about scratches, I still like my instruments in protective case covers; cases with latches (not so much zippers) can open if you drop them.
