Inexpensive 5 piece bass clarinet case

Author: jdbassplayer

Recently acquired an old wooden bass clarinet with two separate joints. The instrument is currently being stored in a ProTec case, but I find the case to be too big and bulky. Anyone know of a good "5 piece" bass clarinet case that is inexpensive? I really want one of the DEG cases but unfortunately they are no longer made. I also saw this but I don't know how anything about it and there are no pictures:

I think that firearms cases, in your situation, perhaps one big enough to accommodate a rifle or two, are great and cheap options.

Their double egg crate foam on either side--a plethora of which sit for auction at places like the one that starts with the letter "e," and ends in "bay" can be useful.

Measure first, read auctions, buy second!

Firearms cases are great in a perfect world but in this crazy time we are living in a paranoid cop may recognize that as a firearms case and shoot first and ask questions later. At the very least you will get questioned.

I use a case like this:

when gigging requires I carry an "A" and a Beefer, and I want to put the case in a larger gig bag with all the other things I gig with that won't fit in the regular double clarinet case I own.

I've never had a problem. These cases could just as well be used to carry tools.

In fact if you have a case but just need cushioned stability for your instrument, maybe just go out and buy some Kaizen Foam:
