|
Until Vadim from Russia order me a special case for only soprano sax mouthieces.

|
So I put a gold plated latch.
|

For the finish I applied a non-toxic varnish.

The inner foam is lined with blue velvet. Flexible, it absorbs all shocks.
|
|
Soprano sax mouthpieces curles in sweet velvet.
|
|
External dimensions : 400 x 300 x 85mm.
|
|
The traditionnal finger joints assembly is discreet but very strong.
|

The butterfly steel hinges are elegant and firm.
|
|
Deluxe Valentin case can store about twenty soprano mouthpieces.
|
|
The dark blue frame illuminates the velvet.

Here is the backside. The rosewood grain is so nice !
|
|
Four little rubber bumpers to avoid sliding.

To travel with this case, metal mouthpieces must have their ligature to be perfectly blocked.
