Very impressed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gator Alto Sax Case (GC-ALTO SAX) (Electronics)
I had a horrific moment a couple of months ago. I was back from work and unloading the trunk of the car with some groceries I had bought on the way home. The kids ran out to meet me. I play on a 1927 silver Conn alto, with a gold washed bell. I used to play on Selmer horns, but they are incredibly expensive, and I still say that NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING, sounds like a Conn. I unloaded the trunk, one of kids fell hard on the driveway while running, the other one started screaming for mommy (even though I was right there.... typical...) and things quickly went nuts. I grabbed my stuff (thought) and ran inside with a screaming kid and another yelling "mommy!" and went to work disinfecting the scrape. It was a fun way to return home. An hour later my wife says: "honey, please go down to the store and get..." I forget what. It was now dark. I got to the car, turned it on, and began to back up. I heard an awful sound. I stopped the car without going too far. There was my alto case (horn inside), broken. Thank GOD the horn was entirely unharmed. All I did was nudge the case with the car. But the case was SHOT. I had an SKB case that looked at lot like this one for my tenor years ago, so I found this one online and purchased it. I am really glad I did. It is a sturdy, well made, hard case. The inside is universal enough that it fit my old 1927 Conn saxophone perfectly, with the end cap on. (I had to get an end cap specially made for the tenor so it could fit the SKB case)No room for much in here save your horn, your neck, your mouthpiece. Your neck strap and small reed case will have to go into the bell. I have bag for this purpose. I have a hard and fast rule: do NOT buy gig bags and soft cases. Good thing. If I didn't follow that rule, my horn would now be flattened and I would be looking for a new one. This case does everything I need it too. I do not know where this case was made. This company is US based, and manufactures here and in China. They are building a new plastic molding factory down south, and they seem committed to US manufacturing. I wish they would simply close up shop in China and do the right thing and make these cases here, but at least I know I did not purchase this from a company that is entirely off shore, and does no U.S. manufacturing. This is a solid case, and it meets my needs well.
