What Gig Bag Should I Get?

I need to know what type of a gig bag i should get, Plz tell me

The harder, the better - Walt Johnson is what a lot of us prefer.

A nice, soft, floppy gig bag with little-to-no padding is the repairman's best friend.

How do BAM's rank on the repairman's best friend lists?

I've got a BAM with tons of space for accessories and music - can even stick a flute in the side pouch, and love it. I have a feeling it's sturdy enough to protect the sax even if thrown down 2 flights of stairs even though it's not 100% rigid....but I'm not about to try it.

Thanks for your answer and suggestion

Get the hard Selmer Flight Case made by BAM. They're AWESOME.

Unless you're hitting the road I recommend the Pro Tech contour, the one with shaped plywood. I know a couple of local players that have had their's for several years. I still use the stock Selmer case that came w/my MK VI ten; but intend to enter the 21st century by getting the Pro Tech case next month, soon's I pay off the credit card.
If I wanted to part with the bread I'd get a contoured fiber glass.

Stevo. Not to disagree with the above comments, but to answer your question, I believe Reunion blues leather gig bags are the best. Very tough leather and excellent padding. Look sexy, too.

To avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, I will publicly state here that I believe the above comment to be unequivocally true and is in no way influenced by the fact that I've also (harumph!) got a one for sale, if you are interested. I'm e-mailing you.

Well, I guess I can't email you and private messaging is disabled on this board. If you're interested in the case, mail me at garysapp@hotmail.com.
