There is also a double mouthpiece version as well.


I used to store a Monette in one with no problems and they are very well padded for protection.

They might keep it from scratching, but I don't remember those bags being padded. I would want something a little thicker.

A quality camera bag, designed for a compact 35mm or a digital camera, will do the trick. My wife got me a $10 Samsonite one a few years ago and it has done the job admirably.

I've carried my R&S Heavyweight in both a ProTec mouthpiece case and another zippered brand that used to have Bach on the front for a number of years. Both these cases are made for one mouthpiece. They both fit fine without even stretching the fabric and are padded for protection.
