- Hey, what's up (bari) sax players,
First of all, sorry for not uploading according to the schedule, I was busy and didn't find the time to edit the video.
Anyway, so today's video will be a little different because instead of talking about Saxophone techniques, tricks, hacks or even theory, today we'll be reviewing the Protec PB-311 CT Baritone Saxophone Case, because I think, that, if you're a saxophonists looking for a new case for their baritone sax, you should definitely know about this one.
We'll start the video off by discussing the outside of the case, then slowly moving our way to the inside, while discussing everything you should know about it, including specs and my insights after a year of usage.
After that, you'll find a pro and con list to allow you to absorb better what you saw during the first minutes, to make sure you get an overall view of the case.
Finally, I'll explain why I believe that this is the best Baritone Saxophone Case you can buy right now.
Don't forget to subscribe while you're down here anyway ;)
I hope you enjoy(ed) it,
Thanks for watching,
I'll see you around,
Joris

Hey Joris, thanks for the helpful review.
Just to add to your information, here's my long-time user experience:
I've used a Protec case for my bari since 2011, very much to my satisfaction.
However, over the last two years the zipper has become more and more dislodged, i.e. torn from the case.
These days I'm using a belt to keep the case closed, not a stylish look but does the trick.
My plan is to buy latches and attach them to the case with a riveting tool to be able to close the case again. Once the latch is fixed, I'll tear off the remainders of the zipper.
So there is a price to pay for the relatively low price of the Protec case, those handy zippers don't stay attached to the case forever.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend the case to everyone who's on a budget.
The Protec case is really good, but for my purposes the Marcus Bonna case is the best. It's pricey, but you get to choose the color of the leather or nylon covering and whether the shell is fiberglass or carbon fiber. I opted for a leather covered fiberglass one. The bari is "suspended" by the ends in the Bonna case so non of the keys are in contact with the inside of the case.
In addition, it is able to hold my series II soprano, my flute, and my clarinet. Four instruments in one case. It is amazing. I also have a protec that I got 20 years ago, but never really used it. I preferred the Selmer flight case until I got the Bonna case a few months ago.
Great vid, by the view. Informative.
Top handle is likely useful for pulling it out of your car
great video bro
Thank you. I watched this video 30 minutes after ordering it. Sometimes we need affirmation for purchases. Looking forward to receiving it. (And I agree about the wheels. Not practical)
Nice, I'm glad the video was helpful to you in some way. Have fun with your case.
No all them comes blue inside my cames in black
Nice
