A clarinet case is usually much the same size as that for a curved soprano sax.Understood, thanks. It would just have been a more portable thing as clarinet cases (IIRC) are much less voluminous.

Hmmmmm...your typical straight-skinny sop case is only 25-26" long (this is for single-piece, a removable neck would be even shorter). I'd be extremely surprised if one would ever be rejected as a carry on....(?)The case for my straight soprano is bigger than my alto case. There's no good reason for this, but it is. I think it would be too long for airline carry-on.
Curved, more feedback, looses some brightness
Straight better intonation, more choice in models

My alto case is 25". Never had a problem with it (so far) as a carryon.22 inches is typically the maximum length allowed for carry-on luggage. My soprano case is 26”.
I imagine that it will normally be OK, but an officious member of staff might refuse to allow it in the cabin.

You did see I was quoting the video, right? I wouldn't know about such things.OOMPH.........

....perhaps let's not go there for the sake of the OP
I'm not familiar with the size of a good straight sop case, but they may be too big for airline carry-on? (Or I'm wrong). Oops, I just now saw you mention they fit on airlines. I wouldn't have guessed that as I fly EasyJet and other budget lines

Interesting. I have never heard of an alto player (case at 24-25") fail to get his case aboard as a carry-on. I guess it sorta depends upon how niggling an airline employee would choose to be...but something like an Alto or Soprano case LOOKS innocent enough not to set off the vast majority gate people, at least on this side of the pond.22 inches is typically the maximum length allowed for carry-on luggage.

That's a good policy of them. Quite honestly it is pretty hard to make an argument that even a 30" tenor case seriously causes any sort of hardship as a carry-on.I also travel a lot for work and play tenor after long lay off.
I like to listen alto, but not to play it.
Soprano I don’t like in any way.
So what I thought for my business travels was, if any, to buy another cheap tenor that it can be damaged or lost in extreme instances, if any. And of course a good case for it.
Yet from when I discovered easy jet is very tenor friendly, I just bring my tenor with me as handbag and make without some other garment stuff.
