  • BAM Cabine Tenor Sax Case

    $ 531

    Available in BLACK, RED, and Silver! This is one of the better cases made today. It’s a 10/10 in terms of padding (particularly for Selmer, Yamaha, and Yanagisawa saxophones), and weight. The new plastic latches don’t seem like they will last forever, and the shell could be harder, but it’s pretty good. Maybe an 8/10 in protection and a 7/10 in durability. It’s built to minimize size, so you don’t have extra storage in this case. It fits the horn, neck (includes neck bag for in the bell) and mouthpiece. It also includes nice backpack straps and also works over one shoulder. It is called “Cabine” because you can carry it into an airplane cabin without being stopped. It is also a flexible case and fits most major modern saxophones that I have tried (except Keilwerth, Eastman, and Cannonball big bell). It also fits a range of vintage horns including vintage Selmer, King, some Buescher saxophones. It does not fit any Conn saxophones very well, nor does it fit split bell keys Kings or Bueschers that well, nor does it fit the Top Hat and Cane Buescher’s bell dimensions.  If you have questions about whether a specific horn will fit in a BAM case, contact me and I’ll let you know.

  • BAM France Panther Cabine Alto Saxophone Case

    $ 552

    BAM France did a nice job on this BAM Cabine Panther Alto saxophone case. It’s like the delightfully slim regular Cabine cases (I like the Red cabine best of those by the way!), but it has new, redesigned latches, and a great-looking anti-slip exterior material. It comes with a mouthpiece pouch, a neck bag that goes in the bell, and backpack straps. This case weighs half what a wood Selmer Series III, or Yamaha Custom case weighs, and it is super easy to carry around. It’s called “Cabine” because you can easily bring it as a piece of carry on luggage in the airplane ‘cabin.’ You won’t believe how light and protective this case is. It keeps your horn in better adjustment than any of the factory cases that come with new horns today. The internal foam is soft and form-fitting. You save in repair more than you spend on the case. The cover just looks super great, and the rubberized feel keeps the case firmly where you put it.

    The only downsides on this case are:

    1. The new latches are plastic and don’t seem like they will last that long. And they kind of spring open if you bump the button on the bottom edge.
    2. The shell is not all that hard. It flexes if you push on it, and you would definitely not want to step on this case or gate check it. Works great as a carry on.

  • BAM Hightech Baritone Saxophone Case

    $ 1,421

    ONE AVAILABLE IN BLACK. This is an (increasingly) expensive baritone case but if it prevents damage to your instrument even once (and believe me, it will), it has mostly paid for itself. See below for more details.
