Product Reviews: Wiseman Wooden Traditional-Style Flute Case, Snake Wood Effect with Black & Gold Lining

Disappointed.
Couldn’t get my muramatsu c flute into the case. Nor my Yamaha.
Sent it back.
Looked lovely from the outside but didn’t work for me.

The foot joint of my Pearl Vigore was rattling around in its original case, so I decided to buy a Wiseman traditional case to protect it better. It did not disappoint. However, it initially took me a little while to set up the adapter for the C foot. What the manufacturer does not make clear is that there is a flat pad under the adapter piece which covers a piece of velcro. This is intended for a B foot but it needs to be removed if using the C foot adapter as the adapter is held in place by the velcro. If it isn't removed, the adapter sits on top of this pad and is not secured. Also, the adapter is then in a raised position, which makes the foot joint sit too high and prevents the case from closing easily (which in turn would result in pressure being put on the mechanism if the case were forced shut).
With regards to daily use, I found that the main body of the flute is much easier to insert at a sideways angle.
All in all, I'm really pleased with this case. It offers excellent protection and there is a good choice of external finishes and lining colours
