Protec Max Clarinet Case Review

This Protec MAX Clarinet Case is currently available in black, blue, purple, and pink. It’s a very light case made from nylon, with a EPS Foam interior to protect the instrument. It weighs in at less than two pounds.
The interior is lined in a soft plush lining with molded depressions to secure each piece of the instrument. It includes an adjustable shoulder strap, in addition to the padded grips, which also lock together with a velcro closure.
