I bought this to carry my old Buescher Aristocrat baritone. The horn fits well enough, and the case is clearly well made. I expect it will wear as well as the other Protec cases I've bought -- which is to say "well".

I'm not too impressed with the padded pouch for the neck and would have preferred to see a fitted compartment inside the case for the neck and mouthpiece as with the tenor and alto Protec cases. Also, the shoulder strap is designed so that it must be removed on one end to open the case. That one makes me scratch my head a bit and it shouldn't have to be that way.

Otherwise, it's a great case, lots of storage room in the external pocket, and it clearly protects the horn well -- which is it's primary purpose. If you don't mind the little odd things I just mentioned, it's well worth the money.

I've had this case for about 1 1/2 years. I use it for my Vito-Yangisawa bari. The fit is fine.

I only use the case once a week for a jam session I attend, so its just for storage and transport by myself in my car.

It still looks brand new. Nothing is broken and its not too heavy. The storage pocket works for my harnesses, reeds and other stuff.

There is a stuffer sleeve that came with it. I place the neck and my mouthpiece in it, the mouthpiece is already in a protective sleeve of its own, and that goes inside the bell of the horn.

Works for me.

Given the price, its a good choice. Don't know how well it would hold up to transport by non-musicians.

I have a new Cannonball Big Bell Bari. The stock case is well built, but very heavy and a pain to drag around to gigs. I have two other ProTec cases for a tenor tray pack and an alto and can attest to their quality. This is a well constructed case for baris. Do it! You won't be disappointed.

This is actually my third Protec case, although it is the first for a bari saxophone.
I also have two Protec alto sax cases, which is why I bought this one.
Protec makes great cases that protect my instruments.
