This review is from: Giardinelli Bb Clarinet Carry-All Case

EDIT: I'm sorry but I posted this clarinet case review under the wrong model. My review pertains to Giardinelli Bb Clarinet Case, Item model number: 7158W, which at this moment is not available so I can't use Amazon's product link mechanism. I did NOT get the Giardinelli "Carry-All" Case Item model number: 7159W on this page (and don't know how it differs), so in particular the case sizes I report below may be inaccurate.
*******************************************************************************

An excellent clarinet case, with a more traditional look than the ABS or nylon sided cases out there. I much prefer the look of this one, and, much to my surprise, my daughter did also.

It has good-looking, sturdy hardware, and the lid does not have any tendency to flop closed while you're using it (a complaint I read about some lightweight cases).

This case has a good-sized accessory compartment. There's also an "extra space" just to the right of the upper joint (see the photos I've uploaded). I'm not sure what it's for but I think it might be for an extra barrel (it fits there). It's too short for an extra mouthpiece and just barely too short for the typical plastic cases that reeds come in. A tube of cork grease fits in it easily, though.

-- exterior size: 15" by 9 1/4" by 4 3/8" (including feet and handle)
-- weight: just shy of 3 pounds 6 ounces
-- accessory compartment: 6 3/4" long by 1 1/4" wide by 2" deep
-- "extra barrel(?)" compartment: 2 3/4" long by 1 1/8" wide by 1 1/4" deep
-- all black, inside and out
-- seems to be plywood box with (nice) vinyl covering
-- nicely chrome-plated hardware and corners
-- hinges seem quite sturdy
