hello guys, i'm travelling around more and more with my sax, and my bulky yamaha case (which is actually an awesome case) is just that, its bulky and heavy. So im looking for maybe a more sleak looking sax case that would have a sling attached. If any of you guys have any cases that have worked wonders for you, let me know!

Walt Johnson. Expensive but worth it.

+1 I was constantly worried about bumping my VI around in the Reunion Blues Nylon case I use to use. Now I am confident it is safe. You can usually find them on ebay also selmer distributed them as a flight case.

Hi Saxophoneswing,

There's a whole subforum on cases here:

You'll find information on pretty much every brand.

Manning Custom?

a waste of money for anyone but a full-time traveling player(and even then I think overkill)

If you are "travelling around" with it in the back of your car locally, a ProTec should do nicely.

If you are "traveling around" on a tour bus or having to send it as checked luggage on an airplane, a Hiscox might be a good one to look at in addition to the Walt Johnson.

Selmer cases are not made by Johnson but by BAM.

Selmer did distribute WJ casses as their flight case for a while. There is a now old stock one for sale at one of my local shops
