Cases and gig bags for wind instruments

Musical instruments, especially wind instruments, can be fragile, and even small impacts can cause problems. This can easily be avoided by investing in a good case or bag, which will probably save you money in the future. The vast majority of instruments will come with a basic case included as standard however it is worth considering an upgrade if you are travelling frequently with your instrument. 

Case or gig bag, what to choose?

Cases and gig bags for wind instruments range in size from very large baritone saxophone cases to the smallest gig bags for piccolo. Some styles also serve special functions such as combination flute & piccolo cases that hold two instruments or specialty reed cases designed to regulate humidity to keep the reeds in playing condition. The primary differences between a case and a gig bag are weight and rigidity. Cases are built with very hard durable shells which make them well-suited to long-distance travel where a greater degree of protection is required. Gig bags by contrast tend to have softer walls with padding to absorb impacts providing adequate protection for routine travel at a light weight that makes them easy to carry. Most gig bags are also outfitted with exterior pockets to add storage space but this advantage may also be added to a rigid case. For most musicians the choice between case and gig bag depends simply on the level of protection needed - and many woodwind players keep at least one of each type of case allowing that choice to be made for each individual trip.
