Ideally I’d like one case that could carry an Alto and Tenor Sax together. Does such a case exist?
Honestly, I can see the pros in that, but I think it would be really heavy... Because I am thinking about the weight of my bari in the case, and it would be even more than that. I would just keep the two seprate cases

I recently bought a Calzone alto case whilst in the States for the flight back in July, they are very strong and well made and a third of the price of sax.co.uk, Calzone also do a Alto/Tenor combined case http://www.hornsales.com/calzone-is...yle-flight-case-for-alto-tenor-saxophone-p-63 The weight might be an issue though the alto case is 13lbs on its own!
Interesting to see, but they're not a third of the price of sax.co.uk, for UK buyers like Paul. It's just under half the price according to the price tag, but by the time you add on international shipping, VAT at 20% on both the case and the shipping, customs fee to release it and possibly import duties there's not going to be a lot in it. Probably still a bit cheaper at that (discount) price but certainly not a third of the cost. I've found this in the past when I've bought stuff from the US, usually used saxes. The initial price is very attractive, but in reality you've got to be very careful with your sums. On the other hand, if you happen to be in the US anyway, and bring it back yourself, you might get a better deal. I wouldn't want to suggest anyone tries to avoid taxes or duties, though, as that would be illegal and might result in an unfortunate interview with a customs man wearing a rubber glove.....
