BAM Hightech Baritone Saxophone Case

This is an increasingly expensive baritone case that is still a necessity for the gigging musician. Along with Walt Johnson, which is not currently available, it is the gold standard for pretty much all serious baritone players I know. If it prevents damage to your instrument even once (and believe me, it will), it has mostly paid for itself. Plus, it is the only bari case that is comfortable to wear with backpack straps, so you can take it on the subway easily. It is around ten pounds lighter than a typical bari case, and feels more like a tenor to hold. It also has sturdy wheels and a second handle for getting it around. The interior foam is the highest quality and will protect the horn from shocks better than any other modern case for sure. This is the only gigging bari case that I would feel comfortable gate checking on an airplane. It works with low A or low Bb baritones and it fits everything from vintage Conns to modern Selmer and Yamaha baritones. These are usually back ordered with BAM because of demand, but I will try to keep one around for my customers.

If you want a cheaper but still reasonably good baritone case, get anything BUT Pro-Tec contoured. That particular case has damaged more neck recievers than I can count. SKB has a hard shell, but has too hard interior foam and insufficient bell padding. I'm working on stocking a cheaper but good option with the HighTech price getting up over $1500 with shipping and tax.
