Hi there!

I'm looking for a review for a European case called simply "bags" you can find it here:
http://www.holzblaeser.com/site.html

I was wondering if someone ever owned one etc.
They have an affordable tenor/soprano double case that I'm interested in.

Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Shauli Einav

Hi - thanks for the reply, you can see the page (there's no picture though) of the case if you go to the menu on the left > PREISE / PRODUKTE > SAXOPHON > SAXOPHONTUIS-UND TASCHEN>SOPRAN/TENOR

Hi, thanks for the reply!! what do you mean by saying "Great Stuff"? is it build well? how are the zippers? padding? is it safe and comfortable to travel with?

Best,
Shauli

I made some pictures

it's a real hard case, not just a gig bag

it fits the big bell of my Keilwerth

good zippers, some silicone spray now and then maybe a good idea
leather handle

padded detachable rucksack straps, comfortable to carry

this is the german distributor

Shauli, I like Bags cases. I had an alto case and I've got a French horn case. The guy who turned me on to Bags cases is an Italian repair guy who loved them and to demonstrate, took his clarinet case and dropped it at shoulder-height onto the ground.

I think they look stylish, they are relatively compact and yet with a reasonable amount of storage space. I would say that as far as protectiveness, it's about the same as ProTec.

The one thing I don't like about them are the clasps on the straps. When I try to carry the cases back-pack style, the lower plastic clasps dig into my lower back and are really uncomfortable. I suppose this can be overcome by putting something in between the case and my back but I usually don't carry my cases as back backs anyway so it doesn't matter.

Thanks Gary & Rbur, I appreciate your reviews!
All the best,
Shauli
