Ultra-compact, lightweight, hard tubular bassoon case for Gentleman-style Bassoon. Hinged along its length, holding two joints in each half, with room for accessories and up to four bocals/crooks. The instrument joints are all suspended in the air with no keywork being touched. All blocking is Velcro-mounted and adjustable. The walls of the case are completely rigid and will not flex.

This case opens perfectly on your lap like a tray (there is no “lid”) and is ideal for use in the orchestra or in confined spaces.

Extremely strong, light, hard case.

Aircraft-friendly, both as hand-luggage and in the hold. Military-strength.
