Hiscox Pro-II-WAS Alto Sax Case

Ich habe den Koffer für mein Buescher True Tone von 1929 angeschafft, da es durch die Anordnung der tiefen Klappen nicht in jeden Saxophonkoffer geht. Hier passt es wunderbar rein, sitzt sehr sicher und vor allem bietet der Case noch ausreichend Platz für Bogen, Mundstück, Blättchen, Putzzeug und einen Halsriemen. Der Platz ist nicht üppig, aber für das Notwendigste reicht es.
Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass der Koffer sehr leicht ist und mit dem mitgelieferten Riemen angenehm zu tragen ist.
Für meine Zwecke ist das Teil ein Volltreffer.

Was in between BAM Cabin and Hiscox. Finally went with this Hiscox for my alto Selmer SA2.
Very sturdy case. Looks like it does what it says. The aluminum around the case prevents from deformation by hitting it. ABS Shell is not moving at all no matter how hard you press it down.
On the inside it has a very beautiful blue soft material and cushions placed exactly where they should be to keep the sax safe.
The accessory compartment is a bit small. It holds only the neck,mouthpiece and a couple of reeds. But it's a form case. Space is not the strong part of these cases.
The Latches are 3 and they don't open tha easy like they do with BAM for example. Looking more secure and even if one gets open it will not let the case open. You have to push it up and forward in order to open. I would like to have all 3 latches with locks but only the middle one has it. Shoulder strap is also very nice.
Even tried to shake the case with the instrument in it. Had to shake really hard until I felt something moving in it!!
Nice and safe. Would buy me one for my tenor as well.

After a couple weeks I sadly have to downgrade my stars.
Now that my SAII has settled in the case, it's bouncing up and down. Not all of the instrument. Only the Bow section.
I would strongly not recommend this to Selmer owners.
I am also going to sell this one and get me a BAM.

Compré este estuche después de un accidente con el anterior que usaba. Hice una búsqueda muy intensa y sólo Hiscox garantizaba la posibilidad de uso con saxos antiguos como mi Buescher Aristocrat de los años 30's.

Pros:
1) La fabricación es muy buena y sólida, a prueba de golpes.
2) El encaje del instrumento perfecto, gracias a sus almohadillas.
3) El peso (2Kg) es adecuado teniendo en cuenta que es rígida
4) El tamaño y la forma muy bien aprovechados (ya tiene varios viajes en avión sin problemas).
5) Viene con bandolera para llevarlo colgado al revés que la Protec que vende las correas de mochila a parte...

Contras (por ponerle alguna pega aunque no sean problemas según mi uso habitual):
1) El espacio para guardar extras es justo, y quizá deberían incluir algún tipo de bolsa de fieltro para aprovechar la campana para tudel y boquilla. Terminé comprando una funda Protec que costó algo más de 10¤.
2) No se puede usar como mochila, aunque no era una función que yo buscara.
3) Thomann no vende las otras opciones de color, que no están nada mal.
4) No la hay de barítono!

Having already owned one of these for tenor,I knew the quality of Hiscox cases.These cases are bulletproof,your Sax will be very well protected in a Hiscox.
A big plus for me is that These cases will work for both left and right sided bell keys,my Conn 6m and my Yas62 both fit snugly and securely in the case.
The only slight disadvantage is storage space,you can fit your neck,mouthpiece and strap in the case,but not much more,but not a deal breaker for me.
Sturdy strong catches and a strong carry strap also a big plus.
