 Triple case?

Is there such thing as a triple clarinet case? Bb, A, Eb? My teacher said that would be difficult to find. She said to ask here to see.

It will be hard to find. Gigliotti used to make one ( http://www.clarinetworld.com/triple.htm ), but good luck finding one for sale. The only triple case I know of that is readily available is the Wiseman triple/quad case ( http://shop.weinermusic.com/WISEMAN-TRIPLE_QUAD-COMBO-CLARINET-CASE/productinfo/CW3CLAR/ ) that will hold an A, Bb, Eb, and a C clarinet. Unfortunately it sells for $1200.

Clarchick - check the archives (via the search button) for "Bonna".
You will see threads regarding the Marcus Bonna double case, which can easily hold three (and sometimes four) clarinets:

Since I do not really need my effer that often, I choose to stick with my lightweight soft-side double case and carry my extra clarinets--C or Eb--in their separate cases, if needed, via a Lands End bag. It also carries my Blaymann clari stand, lunch, mosquito spray, water botts, etc. I know, the effer is not that heavy, but why cart it along if it is only played infrequently?? Just my "dimes worth".......it's up to you.

I second the Bonna Case. It is advertised as a double but fits the Eb clarinet in its accessories compartment perfectly. It's also smaller than any other double case I've ever had.

I bought a hardcover case that has foam in it. You can cut the foam to accomodate whatever clarinets and accessories you want.

The attached picture is a demo case by a clarinet company that they custom cut to fit barrels and mouthpieces. A similar case could fit three clarinets, mouthpieces, whatever you feel, in whatever configuration you want.

The cases can be bought at various places online (for example, PELICAN is a popular brand for custom cases, and you can get many different dimensions and cut the foam however you want, you can get a cheap aluminum case at harbor freight, home depot, or other home improvement or tool stores, etc.)

They do exist, and as a user I can vouch for the fact that this is a good one - the same size as a Bb/A double, with a useful pouch for music etc. The same company also makes a Bb/Eb double.

I have a triple case Berp bag that I love. It's super lightweight and easy to carry on my back! The price is reasonable too, all things considered (especially compared to other cases). I've had it a few years now and it's still in good shape! Here's a website for them:

Hmmm....$300 for a production triple case or about $50 for an aluminum case you design to carry your own equipment....

It IS your call. But for something that takes a knife, a little time, and saves me 250 smackaroos (a year's worth of reeds, a new custom mouthpiece, a backun barrel, whatever you want to equate the savings to), I'm going to do the little bit of work.

But yes, it's your call.

The custom aluminum case-what company made that? If one was available to purchase I would consider. My cutting skills I am sure would not be up to par for my instruments, haha!
