A Case for Colour & Style

Tom Groves Tom Groves 13 April, 2026

Back in 2007, when most gig bags were still stuck in the “any colour as long as it’s black” era, Tom & Will came along to do things differently.

Based in Surrey, we were one of the first to make quality, affordable alternatives that didn’t just protect your instrument… they looked good doing it! Fast forward to today and you’ll spot our bags everywhere – band rehearsals, train compartments, pit orchestras, backstage areas around the UK and beyond!

Why should you upgrade your case?

The case your sax arrives in isn’t exactly built for real life. It’s usually a big, boxy hard case designed to survive shipping, not daily gigs, lessons, or squeezing onto a packed train. Great for getting your sax from factory to shop, less so for getting you from home to rehearsal!

That’s where our 36 Series comes in. Built from years of listening to players, these gig bags are designed to give you proper protection without the bulk. Whether you’re on soprano, alto or tenor, they keep things compact, practical, and a lot easier to live with.

What makes our cases unique?

Storage that works
The compact nature of each design reduces the space required for transporting your sax, and each model has front pockets suitable for reeds, cleaning materials and other essentials

Built Tough
Oversized zips and heavy-duty fittings that won’t give up halfway through a busy term or gig season.

Smart Protection
High-density padding exactly where it’s needed, without turning your case into a suitcase.

Carrying Options
Backpack straps when you need them, neatly tucked away when you don’t, plus a solid side handle.

Convenient Access
Crossover zip design means no wrestling with your case when you just want to get playing.

If you are due a saxophone case upgrade, head over to www.tomandwill.com to check out the full range. Sax Bandits members can make the most of an exclusive 20% discount.
