Hiscox cases

[thomsax]

Anybody who uses Hiscox cases to Martin saxes? Seems to be a good replacement case for Martins. Are there other brands/manufactors that fits saxes with leftside bellkeys? Any recommendation for a shop/dealer that can ship Hiscox's or other cases to Sweden?

Thomas,

Hiscox make excellent cases, my Conn 10m fits perfectly. I bought my case from guitarplans.co.uk. Excellent service but I don't know about exporting to Sweden.

I bought a hiscox case to protect my Martin Handcraft Alto.
I bought the new one with the padded areas and what not. The case is indestructable and I'm very happy with it. The only problem is I don't play my Martin anymore. I'm sure it'll come out on occasion though.

It was the only case I found that fitted the split bell key arrangement soundly. There were a few that almost did but needed pressure to seal them shut, something that was slightly off putting especially at the price point.

I'd also use hiscox cases for all my saxophones if I could afford it!

great cases, you can't afford not to have a good case..

Yep, count me in. They are the only cases that fit the left-handers. My Martin lives in a BRIGHT red one. It's got splinters and scratches and stickers and the lining is all coming away and mended with carpet tape. Indestructible.

Sax.co.uk sell them, and they ship internationally. Give them a call, they're very helpful.

Thank you all for your advise. Std- or pro-model? I think I go for the pro model. It's better to buy a case in UK instead of USA. I have to pay Swedish salestax and costum, c 30%, on saxes and accessories from America.
