Hi Wade, I am pretty certain it will fit. There is 1 inch padding all the way around which allows some 'stretch'. Might be rather tight first time, but will then be easier once impression is made in padding.

I have a Wessex 360 gig bag for my Eb Bombino of similar dimensions to their F and can echo Robert's appreciation for its construction. Like him, I agree that one of the pockets is just a bit too small for carrying the music. I am able to jam by 8.5x11" music folder into it but can't zip it up completely. However that is a small nit compared to it's advantages.

By the way, Mark's review of the 360 bag is here:
