Contact Stephan Boesken. He can get you one from the Winter factory I bet.

Ditto on Stephan. Also the Saxofoonwinkel can get you one fast.

Yeah, I contacted Stephan, but I hoped to get it here in the U.S. The overseas shipping on that huge thing will kill me.

Yes, but a bent King Tempo will kill you even deader.

Winter Cases were handled by Boosey & Hawkes, now The Music Group - who also carry Buffet and Keilwerth. Try a dealer who carries those makes.

Morry,the shipping from the Netherlands is quite cheap...far cheaper than Germany.

Shipping from the UK or Netherlands is not expensive at all, especially for something as light as an empty case.

You should look at the BAM Hightech Bari Case. Looks awsome and very durable. http://www.wwbw.com/Item/?itemno=80137

That is a *seriously* nice case, but man, $545 is WAY steep for me...

Does that BAM case fit JK baris?

Hi Morry, Yes it does.
It will be a little awkward fit whenyou first put it in, but close it carefully and let it sit a couple of days in the case to allow the foam to form around the horn and it will be a perfect fit.
I and several other posters here have done this and it it is a fantastic case for the JK.
