One of my college students bought one of these cases for his bassoon, and once I had a chance to examine it and see how well it protects the bassoon, I decided to purchase one for my bassoon.

I also purchased a replacement tool pouch for the other brand of top-loading bassoon cases, glued a strip of Velco to the back of it, and stuck it to the Velco strip inside the flap of this case for even more storage

The case, as delivered currently, has every facility you'd need for a modern bassoon case

Velcro pad blocking enables the case to fit most Standard cut bassoons and holds Compact or Gentleman’s cut bassoons securely as well.

and my hard case was thrown off the back seat -- fortunately the bassoon wasn't damaged
