Saxophone Cases & Gig Bags
Once you have a quality instrument, you need to be able to transport it to lessons and gigs, but you also want to protect your investment. This is where choosing the right case or gig bag comes in. What size, style and material that case or bag is depends on where and how often you're transporting your sax, as well as your budget and what you value most. Here, you'll find lots of options to help you protect your saxophone from falls and environmental threats to keep it in prime jamming condition.
A solid starter case for students that still offers plenty of features is the Protec MAX Contoured Alto Saxophone Case. It's made from nylon for durability, has a lightweight frame and comes with shoulder and backpack straps to make it easier to tote between lessons and home. It even boasts interior and exterior accessory storage for your neckpiece, mouthpiece and more. For the player who takes their saxophone everywhere they go, the Bam Softpack Tenor Sax Case is a great option. The handle and adjustable shoulder strap offer carrying options, while the compact, lightweight design makes frequent transportation from home to school, lessons, shows and the studio a breeze. The hard shell side and waterproof cover also give you peace of mind that your instrument is protected against rain, snow and the occasional accidental drop. If, however, serious gigging is your passion, a spacious and sturdy wheelie bag makes it easier to pack all your essentials for longer trips, traverse the airport and catch your connecting flights.
The Gard Doubler's Tenor and Soprano Saxophone Wheelie Bag, for instance, features padded straps, wheels and a telescopic handle for versatile carrying options, dense foam padding to protect two instruments and an expandable pocket for your strap, reeds and other accessories. There's no one-size-fits all saxophone case, both literally and figuratively. It's important to choose the right kind of case for your specific instrument as well as your lifestyle. And you're sure to find a bag that meets all your requirements, right here.
