HI!

I'm looking for a low b bari case, somehow available in Europe. It should be well protecting but not the most expensive you can buy on earth (like the BAM case).
A bags case does not fit for my horn (Mark VI).
Thanks for your help!

Did you find one? See my post today about the "bags"
YOu have to remove the centre partition , unscrew the side screws that hold the nylon cover, ease it down to expose the base, and unscrew the two screws that hold the partition. You will have to cut some of the fabric in an out of site area but the partition will come off. If you can just about squeeze your sax in you will be OK. I don't think it matters if the edge of the bell snags the case, it will help to stop it rattling about.
There isn't much choice for old bari saxes, (low Bb)
I wonder what the protec is like compared to the "bags"

Come to England..I've got my old Selmer Bb bari case in great nick and a brand new leather ReUnion for Bb bari...not the newer inferior ones but a proper San Fransisco one in superb leather. I use a Bam now.

Thomann has the Protec in stock:

I've got an original Selmer case from 1965 that I'm not using but I reckon it would be more expensive to ship it than to buy a new case. You're not planning a vacation in Sweden soon?
