PLAYTECH PTCC-300 Bb Clarinet Compact Case Review

For clarinet players, carrying and storing their instruments is very important. Especially for those who move around a lot and want compact storage, the choice of case is a factor that greatly affects the playing environment. In this article, I will be trying out the PTCC-300 Bb Clarinet Compact Case from PLAYTECH, an instrument brand with excellent quality for their price, and review its features, and the good and bad in detail.

What’s PLAYTECH?

PLAYTECH is an original Sound House brand that has instruments and accessories at shockingly low prices. PLAYTECH is especially popular for beginner instruments and accessories at excellent prices.

PLAYTECH's PTCC-300 Bb Clarinet Compact Case is a compact, lightweight, and easy-to-carry product that safely stores the clarinet. How does it compare in terms of usability and performance?

Impressions after using it

1. Design & Appearance

The design is simple and stylish. The black-based case has no unnecessary decorations and can be used in any situation without discomfort. The surface material has a smooth texture. The zipper is designed with the elements (interlocking parts of the zipper) facing out for a clean design.

It is also designed to be compact and easy to carry, making it a convenient size for those who have trouble carrying around a large case.

2. Internal Construction

Although compact, the clarinet can be stored securely in this case. The interior is lined with velour to prevent damage to the instrument.

Because the case is more compact than standard clarinet cases, instruments with optional keys cannot be stored. Also, only one barrel can be stored in the case.

3. Accessories

Accessories such as reeds, swabs, and cork grease are stored in the included pouch. The pouch has the same zipper design as the case for a clean look. The pouch is equipped with a fastener that can also be hooked onto the case.

The shoulder strap has a shoulder pad (though you may not need it much since the case is fairly light), and the length of the strap is adjustable between 66 and 100 cm.

I also recommend using it in this way!

Since the design of the case is simple, it’s fun to customize it by changing the strap to a strap from a bag maker.

I also recommend using a conversion connector that allows you to use these guitar straps as shoulder straps for your bag!

Jacquard weave straps really look luxurious, so by combining them with PLAYTECH's Jacquard straps, you can add a pop of color to the bag change them according to your mood of the day!
