I’m looking for a case to fit a Bach small bore with 7.5” bell. I would prefer something small and lightweight for ease of portability. The original contoured French-style case is in really rough shape, and the Selmer era big brown case I’ve been using is too boxy and cumbersome.
I would love to find something like the old Walt Johnson cases, or small and contoured along those lines. I’m open to O-style gig bags, with the slide compartment on the outside, so long as there is slide protection.
I’ve got cash, and/or a plethora of things I could trade, including other cases, if there’s anything you’re looking for.
I can be reached by the email listed in my profile or by PM. Thanks!

Walt Johnson is small, sure, but HEAVY! Those mentioned are much much lighter.

The SKB and MTS that have been mentioned look to be very similar. Has anyone used both of them enough to compare the two? From what I can tell, the difference seems to be mainly in the "feet" on the end of the bell section, and that the MTS doesn't (always) have D-rings attached for a shoulder strap.

Anyone sitting on an old Reunion Blues bag, or Cronkhite, or Giardinelli, etc... for small bore that they'd want to get rid of?

I have a Gator bag that I reinforced to make it somewhat more protective; the padding is fairly thick but there was no rigid slide or bell protection so I added some. (low tech, but effective). I ended up never using it, mainly because it is a tight fit for my 36B. I'd like to get $75. + shipping.

I've got a Phil Parker (UK branded Reunion Blues) "O" Series going spare.
I'm in the UK so shipping may be expensive.
In the interest of full disclosure I've removed the wood backing from the slide insert to repair another RB Bag. You would need to replace the wood strip, an easy fix.
I was after £75 but could come to deal as it's not being used and is in good condition and still functional.
It's compact and light.
