the latch came off somewhere-- so, now use rubber band to keep it closed. Kind of cheap, doesn't work any magic, just a case to hold reeds. Price here is good, as usual, compared to other sites or stores(which never carry them).

I must say that after many years, the problem of keeping reeds ?alive? has been solved! Being very picky with my reeds, I was constantly searching for a reed case that would prevent my reeds from warping and becoming moldy, while still allowing them to dry properly, and keep their ?substance?. I have tried the Wiseman, the Rico, the Vandoren, the Protec, and even some custom made reed cases. Nothing has given me better results than the Selmer Case. I purchased the 10 reed case (If you are really pressed for space, it can hold more like 12). I have been known to go through reeds during a rehearsal quite constantly, and the Selmer case allows me to keep all my favorite reeds right at my fingertips. The beveled glass automatically holds reeds in place while drawing moisture to the sides. This moisture is then absorbed by the velvet on the upper side of the case. The glass also prevents warping very well. After nearly a year of owning this case, I have yet to find a moldy reed. The velvet has not lost its press either. Not only is it functional, but being less than half an inch thick, it easily fits into the pocket of any case I care to carry it in. The latches are quite strong, and have held up against a number of falls. I feel quite safe without the ever present rubber band. My only complaint is that the glass becomes dirty very quickly from moisture and such, but it?s nothing a quick wipe with a damp cloth won't fix! It?s small, functional, musically safe, and pleasing to the eye as well. It?s worth every penny!

I've had one for several years. It keeps the reeds flat, with no mold or funny smells. It's small, so it fits easily into a case (that is, for something that holds 10 bass clarinet reeds!).

I purchased the 10 reed case for bass clarinet this summer. I always had problems with keeping my reeds from warping; but now with the Selmer case, my reeds are never warped. I double Bb and Bass, and both size reeds fit on the glass easily. It may be advisable to periodically remove all the reeds from the case and clean the glass with a paper towel and alcohol to make sure that the glass has no build-up (from saliva, I suppose?) on it. Overall, 5 stars are well deserved.

Keeps your reeds from warping and becoming damaged. Reeds that would only play once, now play forever. Doesn't that sound good? It does to me. This product will save you money.
