  • New Bari Sax Compact Case; Andy Lutz from ProTec, NAMM Show 2025, Ep 238
    Feb 20 2025
    Everything Saxophone Podcast Host, Donna Schwartz, spoke with Andy Lutz, from ProTec Style Company, at the NAMM Show 2025 in Anaheim, CA. When you buy a new sax, the case it comes with is usually fine… but not always ideal, especially for traveling. While cases have improved over the years, many still aren’t built for the demands of air travel. The Protec compact bari sax case fits most baritone saxophone makes and models, including both low A and low Bb versions. The exterior is made from durable, weather-resistant 1680 ballistic nylon with reinforced stitching. Inside, the case features a shock-absorbing wood frame to protect the instrument. It has a padded handle wrap and durable rope handles for easy carrying, as well as a non-slip adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable transport. The case also includes a large front pocket for accessories and an in-bell storage pouch for the neck and mouthpiece. Here's what we've talked about: 🎷Protec’s latest compact bari sax case
