All in all, this is a very good case. I'm confident that my baritone is quite safe in the case under normal use & as I don't take my bari out too much, it doesn't get knocked about frequently. I replaced the huge yamaha case my sax came in & the size difference is surprising, the JW 2197 isn't much bigger than my horn. The shell is tough, the 3 latches are sturdy (although a 4th latch may be better), the blue velvet looks nice quality, handle & strap fittings feel strong & the aluminium valance is rigid. It is also light, which is a big plus. One thing I did notice though, was that the f# key on the top rear bend of my ybs 62 was pressed open because it was leaning against the interior padding. With this in mind, it's probably worth securing the case if you are in transit. I would not let my saxophone go through a customs/flight situation in this case unless it was with my hand luggage. This case is more than good enough for my needs.
