Is this an original Dolnet case?

[Sjax20]

I bought a Dolnet tenor and I was just wondering if the case is an original Dolnet case. Anyone?

[Betty Blue]

Yes,maybe. It looks a little bit younger than mine. But I got an old Keilwerth for my Baritone made in the same way with other colours, so perhaps they look the same because they were made in the same periode/fashion style.

Perhaps Dolnet didn't make their own cases but just used some standard case. Or does someone have a case with "Dolnet" on it? Of a hexagon shaped case to match the typical Dolnet keygards ? :) Hm, I guess not, that would look too much like a coffin..

When I lived in Germany in the 60s, these cases, koffern, etui, or whatever they called them were usually sold seperate from the horn. German cases tended to be either very basic with black outside and green felt inside OR red plush inside and two-toned vinyl outside. Cheap ones were rather square and the better ones had more rounded features.
