Product Information
The Ritter Bern is a soft gig bag designed primarily for tenor horn, though it also accommodates alto saxophone players as a flexible, unstructured alternative to hard cases. It combines Swiss-inspired reliability with everyday practicality.
Named after Bern, the Swiss capital renowned for solid construction and steadfast protection, this bag offers the same reassuring durability for your instrument. With 28mm padding, anti-wear base and side, and comprehensive protection features, the Bern reliably shields your tenor horn through rehearsals, performances, travel and storage.
Comfort and convenience are built in: ergonomic padded handles, adjustable backpack straps, and a back handle make carrying easy whether you're heading to rehearsal or touring. The embossed lining and plush sides protect your instrument's finish, whilst a zipped side pocket keeps reeds, ligatures and other essentials close at hand. Internal dimensions are tailored for tenor horn with 550mm length, 280mm upper bout and 180mm depth.
Style meets function with Ritter's badge option, allowing you to personalise the bag and make it a true expression of your personality. An address tag and personal identification tag ensure your instrument finds its way home if the bag goes astray. The Bern is designed for musicians who want their gear protected without compromise, and ready for whatever rehearsal schedule demands.
