Re: Marcus Bonna and Bam Double Case

My mistrust comes from the fact they they are floating. The BAM cases have great shock absorbers. I know a guy who trusted the cases so much that he put everything in the case and slammed it as hard as he could down on the concrete floor. Nothing happened. I also know that string players absolutely trust BAM and I see 90% of string players carry BAM when they can afford it. I know of a friend's cello teacher who trusted the case so much that to prove a point they got their cello in the BAM case and pushed it down the stairs... nothing happened.

The design of the Marcus cases make it so that there are only a few contact points, putting stress on the joints of the clarinet rather than having the material absorb the stress all through out the cases filling.

I've never ever had problems with the zippers on a BAM case. Other than the zipper for the music compartment, but I would say that's because it was getting caught on the inside lining of the case. Also, I've never ever had a problem with keys getting messed up from the case from a BAM case. The BAM cases are cheaper by $150 which is something to consider.

Anyway, I have bought a new clarinet case called the BAM French Travel Case. I travel at least 10 times a year, so I bought that due to the protection and space. I will admit that the BAM Trekking has terrible space. With this new case I can fit my Windows Surface Pro 4, a couple of books, and all of my other clarinet stuff. Theoretically. If I can't I'll make sure to post it.
