Re: Recommendations for cases

Regarding the second question, here is a picture of my double case, which I regard as close to ideal. It is very compact, by virtue of having the joints rotated by 90 degrees compared to many other commonly used cases. It's the only double case I know where all joints are separate, but that still has a small enough width that it will fit in a cycle pannier. This is how I much prefer to transport my instruments - but it has backpack straps if you prefer to wear it. The case is still big enough to allow a zip pocket on top for music, and will hold even oversize parts. Despite this compact size, it has a substantial compartment between the joints for accessories - much bigger than most alternative cases.

What is this wonderful product? I don't know, as I got it second hand and it has no label. Occasionally I see similar cases on eBay under various names - Ammoon is a common one. But they don't always seem to be for sale, which is odd as there are huge numbers of sellers offering single cases of rather similar construction. The last time I saw the double version, I bought one so that I have a spare, since I like it so much. I suspect that, like the common single cases, these doubles are made rather cheaply and no doubt could be improved (although mine seems robust enough). But the basic design philosophy is so good that I'm surprised no upmarket manufacturer offers something similar.
