CavalllAro.

The dimensions are here (click). One of the baroque flute or recorder rolls should fit. I think the one i have (from Hammy Hamilton) is a tenor recorder roll.

I saw Cavallaro at the NAMM show. I have been dealing and using www.mooradian.com bags for over 15 years now as a professsional musician. they are FAR superior to the Cavallaro. Peter Hoffman will build you any bag you like. Check out my Tina/Uilleann bag on the Uilleann part of this site. Just an amazing bag.

My HIGHEST recommendations.

There's always something better! :D

How many musicians does it take to change a light bulb? About a hundred; one to change it, the others to say they could have done it better!

Thanks for the link. They look nice.

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack

Just curious, in what way(s) did they seem far superior? Materials, Craftsmanship (hard to imagine since it's only a few pieces of material sticthed together, and the Cav bags are well made), Features? Since there aren't any flute type bags listed on the web site (unless I'm missing them), there's nothing to look at to give some indication.

I'm always looking for something better, but looking at the acoustic guitar bags on that site, and comparing the materials and features listed to other stuff on the market for guitars, Peter's stuff seems.....well, there's much better stuff out there.

I'm not knocking his stuff, just wondering if you could share with us what makes the flute bags particularly nice, since we can't view any on the site.

Thanks much,

Loren
