Accessories C-Melody Saxophone Cases

[Mr Andersson]

Hi folks,
I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas where I can buy 2 vintage C-Melody Saxophone cases. I've been lookin all over ebay without much success and also to several music shops & saxophone repairers. They don't seem very easy to get, without a vintage C-Melody inside.
I have a Holton & a Hawkes and Son, but I'm not really fussed if the cases are original Holton or Hawkes, they just have to "look the part" so to speak. Cheers

Did you try these guys?

I know nothing about them, but they seem to be specialists.

Very hard to find. I ended up buying a new C Mel case for mine from Aquilasax in New Zealand. I think that if you're determined to get an original one, you set up an alert on eBay US, on the off chance that you might find one. I think you're realistically only going to find a C Mel case with a C Mel in it.

Incidentally the site Kev provided the link for is an enthusiast's site run by a guy called Alan Tucker. He's a really nice guy and knows more about C Mels than anyone else I've ever encountered. You can probably send him a message via his web site. If you can't find a way to do that, send me a PM and I'll email him and ask him on your behalf whether he knows of any C Mel cases anywhere.

Thanks jonf & kevgermany, funny enough I was actually on that site yesterday just before I posted the thread, but I couldn't actually find an email address, just a link to go through one of the email providers that I don't have installed on this pc(or maybe I just didn't look in the right place). So if you could get an email address for Alan, I would be grateful. (OK I just been back on that site & found a place to send a message.See I told you I wasn't looking in the right place )
