Cases in your favorite crayon colors!
I love this case. Why? Because in a sea of black instrument cases, my yellow bass clarinet case is like a beacon of joy. Plus I can find it quickly backstage. It's like a highlighter pen. (And hey, if a black case is your color preference, I've got that, too.)
Here's the back-story: Last year I reached out to André and Marcus Bonna in Brazil, and asked if they could custom make a case for me that would suspend the bass clarinet from the case on all sides.
Why? Because I don't want keys touching the case.
Why? Because I don't want the keys to go out of adjustment from the pressure and jostling that occurs when carrying the instrument around.
Why? Because I like saving money on repair costs.
Why? Because I like beer.
The result is this double case that holds a Low C Bass Clarinet and a Bb (or A, or Eb) clarinet and a couple extra barrels and an extra bass clarinet neck and my tablet and my Macbook and some sheet music. It's also modular, so if you want to NOT take your clarinet, you can configure the case differently. It's pretty cool.
I'm also delighted to report that these cases are proudly made using 100% Renewable energy.
If you're interested in a color combination that you do not see here, let me know and I can order something TOTALLY custom for you. (See below for color options.) I order cases every month, and the production time is about 75 days from the date of order.
Important Note: This case will not fit instruments that have the Low C key on the bottom joint (rather than the bell). This only affects certain Buffet bass clarinets from the early 1990s, but check your instrument to be sure!
