Re: Recommendations for cases

I can't speak to its compatibility with Peter Eaton clarinets, but picked up a Protec Micro Zip case a couple of years ago that I use when I just need to bring one clarinet. It's very light and compact.

I like to travel very light with one normal sized backpack as my carry-on and I was able to fit my clarinet, swab, and a peg inside the case and stick the whole thing in my backpack without trouble and with room leftover for clothes. A box of reeds went into the bag outside the case, but I think I can cram in a small box like the one Brad Behn uses for his Aria reeds or the Peter Leuthner boxes. Otherwise, loose reeds in individual sleeves go in there without too much trouble. For times when I don't need sheet music, I can bring enough for one gig/jam/rehearsal in the case with no bag.

The smooth exterior shape means that it is relatively easy to slide in and out of a pretty full backpack if airport security needs to see it or anything.
