Notes

The compact, or "C" versions of each case all are slightly shorter in 2 dimensions in order to fit in a greater variety of airplane overhead compartments. Some horns will not fit in the Compact model cases, so we do accept returns. (See our Policies page).

The MB7 and MB6 are quite similar. The MB6 has an integral carry handle made of leather, while the MB7 has nylon web dual handles over a zipper cover to protect your hand. The MB7's lid is style to a slightly lower profile to aid in fitting in the airplane overhead compartment, although both cases are "flight" cases. Additionally, the MB7 has contoured nylon or leather panels that on the lid that are more conducive to two-tone color designs (which are all Custom order cases).

The 2-clarinet case can no longer be ordered through us. You must order it directly from MB Cases. The Gentleman's Model bassoon case and all leather cases are all Custom order items which cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturer's defect.

Covers

Covers come in either nylon cordura or leather. Either covering is long-lasting and good looking.
