This is an extremely sturdy case with plenty of room for sheet music, books, reeds, and other accessories. It's great for keeping all the clarinet stuff together in one package. It is bulky, though, and may not be the best choice if you want something easy to manage for everyday use. For example, it does not fit into a backpack for carrying to & from school easily with other items. You will love it if you need or want the bulk for all your stuff, but you will dread it if you prefer a small package that is just big enough for essentials.
