My old saxophone case was causing problems; the instrument had become loose and had been damaged in the case. I intended to buy a higher priced case but needed a replacement urgently and at a lower price so I picked this as a temporary measure. My saxophone is a 1964 Selmer mark vi so I value its safety. This case is lightweight yet very sturdy. Internally the main body, neck, mouthpiece and strap fit comfortably. Externally there are large storage pockets, plenty of room for spare reeds, a cloth and cork grease in one and my concert flute fits in its case in the other. The case has carry handles midway, another at the top and also a cross shoulder strap. The external material is very strong and the zips are very sturdy. Put it this way, I'm so impressed with this case that I won't be shopping for another until this one falls apart and I don't think that will be any day soon. Great instrument protection at a very affordable price.
