Does anyone know of a flight case that will fit a Keilwerth tenor? I know a lot of them won't fit this particular horn. Thanks a million!

Jakob Winter cases are made for JKs, and they fit quite well. However, some people have noted that their hinges and latches are somewhat weak, and I concur. I have Winter Greenline cases for alto and tenor--very light and reasonably sturdy, but only for carrying. Under no circumstances would I ever airline check these cases. In fact, when I fly with them or even carry them out of the house, I put a nice tight safety strap around them in case they pop open. Never has happened, but safe beats sorry.

Hiscox will fit after slight modification of the case on the bow area.Its a bit tight as it is.

Subtone, what mods did you perform, and how did you go about it?

mag,just some molding of the bow area of the case.I enlargened it a bit by pressing down the material by hand,nothing major.
