BAM Cabine Tenor Sax Case
BAM Cabine Tenor Sax Case

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.

I keep my Selmer Balanced Action tenor in this case. It's compact, durable, and lightweight. It's designed to be carried everywhere, so if you're a walker or have to take public transport (or fly with your instrument) this is the case for you. If your horn regularly gets put in with other equipment (or heaven forbid it gets checked with the luggage!) this may not be the right choice.
There isn't much interior storage space, but there is a carve-out for your mouthpiece, the neck goes into the bell in the provided neck pouch, and there is a small compartment underneath the lower stack and lower part of the bell to store a reed case and maybe a small neckstrap. If you have a cloud strap or other shoulder harness, it likely won't fit unless you get very creative.
