I use a Pro Tec contoured case for my tranny alto (LH bell keys).
It works fine.
I have an SKB that will not work because of the LH bell keys.

The pro-tec contoured IS a hard case, just to let you know. Not as strong as some, but it would be fine, unless you drop the case. I know a guy who sits on his pro-tec alto case 
shock, but his alto is fine. Big guy, too.

That's the case I am talking about, was on page two of your link.

Thank you all for your replies.
My wife had purchased a DEG case from WWBW which was designed for LH bell keys for my anniversary present. When it arrived, I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the case. It looked and felt like it was assembled as a sixth grade project.
That is what finally prompted me to post here after lurking for quite a while.
Even though I really wanted a full hard shell case, I ordered the ProTec based on everyone's recommendation here. I should have it in a week or so.
The Hiscox looked like the perfect solution, but alas, they are too hard to come by in the states.
When my ProTec arrives, I am going to try and make the time to post some photos of my sax in the case to help others that are searching for cases for similar vintage horns. I hope that the photos will be worth 1000 words
Again, thank you all for your responses. I'll let you know what I think of that ProTec when it arrives!
