Protec BM305CT Tenor Sax Micro Zip

In my search for a Tenor Sax case that will be light-weight, space-saving, easy to carry, AND accepted as cabin baggage, I tried (and almost ordered) the well known French case which boasts small outer dimensions, but at the last minute I was delighted to discover the Protec BM305CT because it's just so much better in my opinion AND much less expensive! The slight outer dimensions actually had me thinking "hard to believe that I-ve got my Tenor sax in that little case". There is a generous storage area for the neck, and the mouthpiece holder is fine for my Dave Guardala (although perhaps a little small for traditional hard rubber mouthpieces). The zippers for closing the case are excellent and ensure that the case will never open accidentally. The outside finish really seems to be durable and easy to clean. Some say that you can't get much inside such cases, but I get everything I need inside using the standard storage areas with the addition of a bell-pouch. Space is not an issue for me as I always have a separate shoulder bag for my radio mic, sax stand, iPad, and cables etc. This is the best ever Tenor case for me.

I've been using my standard Yamaha YTS-280 case for some time, but it's giant and very heavy, especially considering the fact that I have to climb up the stairs to the sixth floor to get to my teacher twice a week. With this Protec case it's not an issue anymore. It's lightweight (I expected it to be heavier) but sturdy enough. Has space for the neck and mouthpiece.
One thing I would definitely recommend is to get Key Leaves Gap Cap. It secures your sax inside the case, and even though it's pretty expensive (and let's be honest - overpriced for what it is), you don't have to worry about your sax.
Bottom line - great case, I can totally recommend.

Schön, leicht und stabil! Erinnert an das alte Selmer Sax Pak, nur daß die Qualität deutlich besser ist. Mein Mark VI liegt sicher darin, ohne daß Klappen gedrückt werden. Das Konzept mit dem separat erhältlichen Überzug (mit Stauraum) ist clever.
Das knallige Blau innen ist sicher nicht jedermanns Sache. Da würde ich mir verschiedene Farben zur Auswahl wünschen. Insgesamt für mich der schönste Saxkoffer auf dem Markt.
