    High Quality, but Fragile
    4 Stars
    High Quality, but Fragile
    I purcgased this about a year ago and it definitely was a great buy it helos to keep my reeds safe, and they last longer. The case is very fragile though, within the first week of having it it fell off of my stand and since it was open the tray holding the reeds in broke, it now doesnt stay clipped inside and it just sits there, other than that the case has held up pretty well over the past year or so. Another problem ive had is that sometimes the cases hinge closes down in my reeds, (I play bari and the reeds fit with very little clearance) and it killed off a whole set of four reeds, I'm pretty sure this happens onlg because of the fact that my case is broken. but this is definitely a good purchase and I would recommend it.
