Just wondering if a super 20 will fit in a std. size jakob winter case.

It should fit great.Those cases can handle big bell horns.

Mine did fit BUT the neck doesn't fit in the preformed space ( if you have one of the cases with one) and you need a bag to put it in the bell.

I always put neck with mouthpiece attached in the bell. Love that trusty sock.
My case came with a pouch for the neck btw.

There are two fundamentally different kinds og J Winter cases (not counting the greenline, which I would not recommend based on hearsay). The old black cases are really sturdy but the neck doesn't fit. No experience with the new fiberglass ones, but you have Rennie's take on those. I suspect Milandro may refer to the former kind, which were made to fit Keilwerth. OK, Milo, come on. Your third chance in a week to flame me (not that it affects someone with my resilience).

I was talking of the black ( they also exist in blue and red) fiberglass ones, they are omnipresent around here and I have had both models the one with and the one without the preformed space for the neck. Both fitted my super 20 with the caveat of the neck. The one without the preformed space came with a neck pouch.

OK, but there two kinds: ABS (robust and inexpensive in the US) and fiberglass (somewhat pricier I believe). The latter are made by Eastman. Not sure which one the OP is referring to.

 

[milandro]

ok, mine were the ABS then

Reviving this thread. Has anyone been using a contoured greeline or the newer ABS model JW 2195 with a Super 20 tenor? What's your experience please?

I'm very interested in the greenline for its ultra lightweight. But worried about how protective it is compared to the ABS model. Incidentally I went see Howard Wiley in a bar a few weeks ago. He walked in carrying his Zephyr tenor in a contoured greenline on his back.
