I bought this case mainly because it fits my Keilwerth SX90 and doesn't cost a million bucks like a Walt Johnson does. It basically does everything I need it to do. It fits in a trunk, it goes over the shoulder easily, and it has enough space for two mouthpieces and a couple of boxes of reeds, as long as you're space conscious. The case also fits in overhead compartments on airplanes, which is great. The handle has become kind of tattered over the years, but who really cares anyway? It's a great case. It fits Keilwerths perfectly and it's cheap. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I needed something more durable than my old Reunion Blues cordura gig bag that I had for my new Jupiter Artist Tenor. After seeing that it had been knocked over (again) while in it's case/bag, I decided to try this case. I've been impressed with it from day one. Yes, it's a little heavier than a gig bag, but the protection is worth it. The SKB cushion remains stationary on the strap, REGARDLESS of how long or short you have it! I was disappointed even more because I actually paid for SKB's strap!!! There's also a curious smell that emanates from the case. I've actually left the case open for a few days and it still hasn't gone away. Nothing nauseous, just annoying. The velcro closure on the case's outer compartment doesn't seem very secure, but I have yet to have anything fall out of it. It's also not very big. If you carry an emergency kit in your case--time to downsize! This case is easy to clean as well. A damp rag is usually all that's needed to keep it looking sleek. Hardware is solid and closes easily. Check out their (SKBs) warranty! It's a great case for the money and I highly recommend it!
