Black Leather Tenor Saxophone Gig Bag by Gard

The protection that Gard instrument bags gives your instrument is Incomparable

Highly impact resistant
A specially formulated hard foam is used. This foam is expensive, dense and highly impact resistant. We test the hard foam by bouncing a 300gm glass ball on the foam laid over a glass plate. Only if the glass ball or glass plate does not break, chip or crack, then the foam is approved for use. Ordinary bags use soft foam, which does not protect.

Hard Protection
For all round total protection, there is no gap under the seam. A removable wooden disc padded with hard foam ensures double protection under the seam to the vulnerable bell area of your music instrument. In ordinary bags the foam protection stops short 1/2" (12mm) on both sides of the seam. Along the seam there is a 1" (25mm) gap in foam protection. The bell lip of the music instrument slips into this unprotected gap under the seam and is easily damaged by any impact on the seam

No Gap Under Zipper
For all round total protection there is no gap under the zipper. A band of thick hard foam is sewn under the zipper (zipper guard). This zipper guard prevents the music instrument from damage by impact or by scratches from the zipper. In ordinary bags there is a gap in foam protection under the zipper. Without any protection the music instrument is easily damaged by any impact on the zipper. It is also easily scratched by the zipper.
