Having checked the board’s archives on this topic, it appears that a now discontinued?? Yamaha case was very compact in its storage of an “A” and “Bb” clarinet, along with some basic accessories.
And while I’ve seen some remarkable designs from craftsman like Wiseman (cases), they are out of my price range.
Does anyone know of a remarkably small and currently available double case that won’t “break the bank?” Still further, I seek one where all clarinet sections are stored apart from each other (i.e. no Buffet Pochette "bell attached to lower joint" cases thank you.)
I’ve come to the realization that the typical number of things I need to bring to a performance, such as a portable stand, stand lights, and wind clips (for an outdoor performance), coupled with my age, find my bringing of a case (envision one that’s ½ the height of what fits under an airline seat) on wheels to a performance, that contains my clarinet case, in addition to the aforementioned accessories, the best way to go for me.
The alternative of a large clarinet case with cover to carry these things (over a shoulder), particularly when my car’s a distance from the performance site, appears to me to usually be more work (muddy grass notwithstanding.) I’m content to accept a clarinet case that hold’s not much more than the 2 clarinets and a mouthpiece, assigning things like backup mouthpieces, reeds, and barrels to the larger case.
If no such clarinet case fits the bill, I suppose I could always just opt for a larger (i.e. taller) outer case on wheels, or rethink my gig configuration.
I know this is hard, but ideal dimensions for the clarinet case would find me in the neighborhood of 15” X 12” X 4”.
Thanks.
