GEEK Professional Hard Case for Yamaha Digital Saxophone YDS-150 Suitcase Digital Wind Instrument Handled Case Full Protection Big Volume Packing YDS150 Body Batteries Accessories (YDS-150&Black)

Most professional and workable case I have ever owned in my 45 years of being a sax player, and believe me I have owned them all. Hard, Soft, Horn shaped etc. I never write reviews but was so impressed with this case I needed to do so for my fellow YDS owners. First of all, all of the storage spaces that you can see in the product detail picture actually come with the cut outs still in it, including the one for the horn itself Which I am in the process of making a cool wall hanging out of it for my music studio. The decision by the "Geek" people to keep the cut outs in and send them to the customer instead of discarding them is very cool, because with a few simple tools as shown in my photo, you can customize all the storage areas by removing the cut outs and re-cutting them to fit different gear snuggly inside the storage compartments. In photo of bell area, I have even carefully cut the original bell form end which was a factory precision fit for the YDS bell a bit wider and longer to fit my K&M Trumpet floor stand into the bell for transport. As YDS owners know, you have to use a trumpet stand which is a bit wider then a soprano stand in the bell so that the drainage tube inside the YDS bell doesn't get damaged by the stands inner peg. Since the bell flare on the trumpet stand flares out larger than the YDS bell you have to make this adjustment in the cutout if you desire to transport your floor stand in the case within the bell. This is very simple to do with a simple dollar store blade and an X-acto knife. Simply cut into the top rubber layer (About a 1/2 inch thick) and then open a slide blade the length of the blade itself to easily and neatly slice through the underlying foam structure (See Photo). No special tools or skills needed at all. And the foam is strong and durable and holds together without crumbles. In addition to all this good stuff the foam is in layers so you can simply remove a few layers from the bottom of a cut out if you like, put loose items into the cubby loose and recork it sort of speak with the top of the cut out which fits snug enough to keep everything from going all over the inside of the case, but yet loose enough to not be a struggle to remove. In the overall case photo you can see how I used the supplied cut out forms to customize the configuration of the storage holes. Lots of room to carry everything you need and the construction is excellent. I highly recommend this case. And FYI, If you are like me, I didn't like the "Geek" logo as shown in the product photo on the side of the case (Sorry Geek People). I almost didn't buy it because of how big it is. However the good news is, it is a separate sticker that is supplied with the case and you don't have to apply it. I would rank this case a 5++ if I could it is that good.

Excellent
