Chronkite---I have a Wolfpack and Tuxedo tenor bag sitting in the corner along with a Giardinelli alto bag.  I bought a double leather bag from Glenn over a year ago and absolutely love it.  I can carry 2 tenors, a tenor and an alto, or a horn and a trombone stand on my back.  Nothing provides guaranteed protection.  As a former high school band director with 33 years of teaching, I have seen many horns get destroyed in hard cases.  One must exercise caution no matter what the case is made of. On the double case, I pull the slide pocket about halfway out, take out the slide and then the bell and then push the slide holder back in.  No hassles!<html><div>Dennis F.
