My guy has Protec cases for all his Saxophones Great quality product!It’s perfectVery good quality!!!Appears to be well-made & excellent, only time will tell how it holds up. Will try to update after some use. I got this for my MKVI tenor, the tipper being a review which said it fit their MKVI "like a glove". Indeed it does!I especially like the dedicated, strap-in recesses for mouthpiece & neckpiece. No longer necessary to put these in bags etc. to keep from flopping around. These are velcro-fastened, so again time will tell how hardy; velcro has a tendency to wear out.The case closes by zipper, so on the one hand no hasps or catches to fumble with or worry about but, on the other, if the zipper fails then break out the bungies. Zipper seems to be good quality so hopefully it will outlast any other wear points of the case. The zipper handles (there are 2, coming from either end of the case), have openings big enough for a small lock, tho in my many decades of playing I don't recall locking my case more than a few times.There is no generalized storage area inside the case, but there are 2 outside pouches, one of which would be limited to a small amount of very flat stuff, as it is on the bottom relative to how one would open the case. I would have preferred a rectangular version of this case for storage, but that puts one in another significantly higher price range. Since I was keeping my costs down to replace a worn case which didn't fit my horn well, this will do just fine. I always carry an accessory bag anyways, so no biggie.A bit on the heavy side, but should be sturdy. Need light? Consider a gig bag.Assuming this will hold up reasonably well, this is an excellent buy and I would hold the apparent quality up favorably next to cases costing almost 3 times as much, short of an actual flight case, though one would expect cases in that price range to last a lifetime. Other reviews seem to show this to be fairly hardy, a few years of good service being acceptable. Hopefully things will get more normal and I will start playing enough again to need one of those "lifetime" cases!Returned the Pro Tec Max case in favor of this one, and it was the right move. I was skeptical about the pouch on the bottom side, but if it is left empty, I think I'll avoid the problem that caused me to return the other case: tipping over when opened. I tested this theory with all required materials (neck strap, reeds, auxiliary t-shirt, etc) in the top pouch, and this version is stable. A little disappointed that it means I really only have one pouch... I'd actually rather they hadn't put one there at all. At least the usable one is the bigger of the two, and has the fancy organizer thingy inside.This case fits my horn (a Yanagisawa T-902 clone) nicely, though the cutout for the neck is a little odd. Size and shape are good, and I feel it will be well-protected... but there's a Velcro strap that goes over the octave key arm. Not a big fan as of now, but we'll see how that turns out. I have one criticism to offer, and that is the spacing between the padding on the top half of the case and the bow of the horn. I can feel pressure against the low-C key guard as the case closes. Hopefully the padding will relax a bit over time and I can close the case without squeezing anything, or deforming that guard. Other than that, I'm happy to see a nice beefy support up at the neck joint, and enough clearance below the main body that the left palm keys and the left pinky keys don't make contact... a statement I can't make about the stock case. (Which is now in the trash)This case is significantly heavier than the MAX version, likely due to the wood shell, denser foam interior, and the heavier fabric and zippers. That said, the added heft will probably also translate to a longer lifespan and better protection of the instrument under heavy use... which this case will not really see. The horn was purchased for un-demanding home studio use, and for teaching purposes in public schools... so it will be in adult hands all the time, and stored in a friendly environment.This is the size you need for your vintage Martin. It seems very sturdy and is lightweight. Plenty of storage space. Pleased with the purchase.I'm not going to lie, it wasn't what I wanted but it works well. As a matter of preference, I like rectangular cases but I have a horn from the 1960's and most newer cases do not hold a horn with tone holes on the left side of the bell. That being said, it appears to be well made. I have not had any problems using the case to its fullest. The front pocket is even big enough for my flute in a French style case.I took a star off because this was literally the fourth case I bought trying to get one that would fit my older horn. Of the four I received this is the only one that fit but it is also the only one that required you to purchase the straps to make it into more of a backpack. I have small kids so there is usually a lot of hand-holding and it would have been nice if like the other Protec bags I purchased it came with backpack straps. Also, I don't understand why they changed the neck and mouthpiece are in this case. The big velcro straps that go over these pieces is just kind of stupid when they could have made simple drop-in spots like with all their other cases.Otherwise good case.The quality of this case really blew me away. Very sturdy but plenty of cushioning inside. The side pouches are very handy too. A great feature is that it stands vertically which is great for storage as it hardly takes up any space in comparison with a case you have to lay flat. Very happy with this purchase.This is, overall, a fantastic case for the price point. PROTECTION-wise, it is awesome, the light wood core with the plush interior lining would certainly prevent major damage against drops and other mishaps.Downsides are two: First, it is a little on the large side for a "contoured" or "shaped" typed tenor case. Actually, quite large. Having stated that, the balance is that there is storage inside for the neck and mouthpiece as well as generous outside pockets.Secondly, it's initially TIGHT - for a Selmer Tenor. Actually, as I write this the G key (left hand ring finger key) is actually sort of stuck over and against some of the plush interior and it keeps the key open a bit. I don't love that, but when opening and closing several times it doesn't seem that anything will be harmed.Same goes for the neck - the upper plush padded material seems to press down on the neck octave key saddle more than I would like.I believe it will "break in" to the sax over time and sort of mold to it. It seems a bit like "memory foam" for the lining inside. It's nicely plush and padded. I had an earlier model years ago and it wasn't as cushy and cozy for the horn.Please do yourself a favour and buy the backpack straps too - they're under $20 and you would NOT want to use the shoulder strap only for carrying this beast.I am VERY picky about case fit because I have my dream vintage Selmer in this case and it's OK for now and I assume it will get better over time. The XL case designed for big bell / big bow / vintage with keys on opposing sides horns would NOT work, so this is the best for "standard" sized horns like Selmer, Yamaha, Yanigasawa.You can't do better for the money. The quality is amazing.Great case, great quality.On the flip side, with an instrument in it, it gets heavy, but its to be expected with a wood frame.A Tenor Top Hat and Cane fits just barely due to bigger bell then usual. Still closes but tight (maybe too much), at least it won't move around.Beware, contrary to picture in description, shoulder straps are not included.Gran funda, era lo que buscaba para mi saxofón, cómoda y fácil de llevarWell padded and supports the Sax without jamming any pads or keywork
