Just tried posting but it seems to have disappeared...
So here's my situation. There is so much conflicting info on cases, both here and the wider web. So I'm going to ask a bit more specifically, and give the conflicting info I've found.
I am looking for a case for a Martin tenor with left hand bell keys. This is for travel, so contoured and the ability to carry-on my horn are important. Looking for a case with great protection for the horn. A secure carrying strap. Durable exterior. Some space for accessories (neck, mpc) but not too picky on that. I'm willing to push my budget to around $300, but can't do much more than that.
I've heard conflicting info on Gator, protec, SKB, and Bam cases. All have conflicting info on whether they can accommodate left hand bell keys.
Protec has mixed reviews on durability, specifically the fabric exterior degrading.
Gator and SKB have numerous reports of the case bring difficult to align when closing.
Bam has tons of different options, but don't detail the differences in cases very clearly and it's hard to discern a good value. I can't afford a 500 dollar case, are the 300 dollar ones that much better than the fat cheaper brands listed above?
HELP!!
