A local packaging store is a Pelican case dealer and will custom cut foam. The attached case for an extended range alto clarinet and an Eb piccolo clarinet was $305. I should have had them make the tray for both Bb and Eb instruments. Maybe I will have another tray made. Still, I am happy to have good protection for the alto.

Advantages:
- the instruments are secure and well protected
- case is watertight
- can be made for any combination of instrument, other gear and supplies
- moderate price
- case has wheels and an extendable handle

Disadvantages
- limited air flow
- foam is smelly for the first few months - keeping the case open will help
- not light-weight
- had to leave the instruments there for a couple of days to measure them
