Re: Long case for a modern clarinet?

Since I own several old metal clarinets, I experimented with trying to put a modern plastic or wooden clarinet into their cases. These cases would all need major modification to widen their insides. The modification would mean a complete gut-job on the inside, which would involve altering the internal structure of the compartment and replacing all of the padding and the lining. Even the compartment for the mouthpiece would need paring down, to make more space for the thicker body of the modern clarinet alongside the mouthpiece compartment. There would be very little room for padding. If the student's disability makes it difficult for him to handle the case without dropping it, then I think a modified old metal clarinet case could end up leaving the clarinet inside too vulnerable.
