Hello everybody,
Thanks to everyones great advice,
I purchased a ProTec contoured case for my vintage alto
with Left sided bell keys.
I see this question coming up quite often on these forums,
so I figured I'd try to help people out.
If a picture is worth 1000 words, then here is 10,000 words
regarding the ProTec!
I PURPOSELY overexposed the photos
so that people could get a better look at the details of the case
and its interior.
I hope this helps someone searching for a case
for their LH-bell-keyed sax.
Enjoy!
Here is the case:
Notice the strap on the left which prevents the case
from flopping open completely:
A better view of the inside.
Note the mouthpiece and neck slots with velcro straps:

Snugly resting in the case:

LH bell keys are no problem here:
Neck and mouthpiece in their spaces:
Looks like my flute will fit as well:
...yes it does. Nice!
This shot is to show the bumpers (feet) that
allow you to set the case vertically or horizontally:
Apparently, there is a 10 image limit per post,
so click on this sentence and the magical internet fairy will take you to a photo of the shoulder strap that comes with the case:
There is also a backpack strap system available for purchase.
I ordered it, but the WWBW had it on backorder.
It fits into the diagonal loop/strap
that can be seen near the feet in the last photo.
I still have to figure out where I'll be putting the
reeds and other items, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
I hope this helps somebody.
Let me know if you have any questions!
