That's really interesting, Max. My case is original and it's truly awful. I fixed the outside with a roll of gaffer's tape but you're absolutely right, the case allows the two joints to roll around and move quite a lot. I've got to address this problem before I start transporting it around, that's for sure. A custom case would be the best route but I pretty much spent my music budget for 2020 with the purchase and overhaul of the instrument. I know — with that case I can expect to be spending money on adjustments.
For now I'll try to incorporate some additional cushioning in the old case and, of course, be very careful. I may try to look for a used case (wish me luck), find an appropriately-sized suitcase and adapt it, or build one from scratch. I'll say one thing for the Yamaha 221 — it comes with a very nice case. (Actually I could say a lot of other nice things about the Yamaha, but we're talking about cases!) Unfortunately the Yamaha doesn't fit the 33 that well; I tried.
