Re: Tiny Bb Case

Like others, I use the admirably compact Protec case for my Bb. Be aware there is one small inconvenience with it. When open, the case will not remain flat on its bottom unless some of the clarinet is actually in it. If it's empty, it will roll back onto its hinge area with both bottom and top covers off the supporting surface. It might even do that if just the mouthpiece and barrel are in it, depending on how heavy the stuff contained in the pocket on the top cover is.

You'll notice this particularly when the case is in your lap and you're getting the instrument out or just starting to put it away. It's not hard to deal with, but I keep thinking (without noticeable justification) that someday I'm going to add a weight somewhere in the bottom of the case to stabilze it in the open & empty condition.
