 John Packer cases

Has anyone had any experience with the John Packer instrument cases? I am thinking of buying one of the double clarinet cases, but can't find any information on them. They're relatively inexpensive, and I'd like to know if this makes them good value for the money or if it's more a case of 'cheap and nasty'.

They look pretty good from the outside - decent handles and all compared to most Chinese cases with webbing handles, but it's a shame they haven't got a picture of the inside.

Hmmmmm....


Looks remarkably like the BAM double case. Could this be a knock off? Or a "NON Brand name" equivalent?

What about other instrument cases from this company? Presumably they're all made to a similar standard.

I've handled plenty of Packer's own brand instruments and therefore the cases - they're pretty well thought out and seem to be made to a good standard. Quite a lot of the instruments I come across are owned by schools and therefore not treated by their custodians with the greatest of care - the cases stand up pretty well.
