To buy or not to buy?

My dad has been in the music business for many years, so I trust his decision . We've been looking at gig bags for months and he thought that would be the best for what I needed. I have another bag to keep my stand, music, water bottles, my giant metronome , etc. I was thinking "bigger" like if I wanted a b-foot or even alto, though an alto might not fit....I don't know how big those cases are. Anyhow, thanks for your concern!

Yeah, an alto definitely wouldn't fit in that bag. I have to remove the case cover that came with mine to get it into my Altieri bag, and even then it's a relatively tight fit, though C flutes have plenty of extra room.

oh, ok. I thought an alto *might* fit because this bag seems pretty big (18x3.5x6, or something like that ) No matter, I'm sure it will suit my needs just fine. I need something for a school-band trip and I wanted something that could hold some money (shhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone!) my phone, a tuner/metronome, marching music, lyre, flip folder, etc.

OK, so I have had this case since Thursday and it seems to be working fine. I just got a lyre/flip folder cuz we'll be marching Friday at Six Flags (4 those of you that know what it is). I can get it in the case but It's a fairly tight fit. I think I could make it fit easliy if I put it in a different pocket though... Anywho, it seems to work and it's not too bulky. I could probably even fit my stand in it if I had too.

My sister had one of those (I think it was the same one) last summer, and we discovered that we could fit three french style cases in it We had a lot of fun with it when we would travel to do gigs and pull out everything from one case.

[flautists_r_us]

Yeah, I figured you could fit 3 Frenchies in it (please take no offense). Problem is I don't have any of there cases. Did you ever try fitting a wire stand in it?

[fluttiegurl]

We never tried that, but we did fit a LOT of stuff!
