It was made to order, and I had him tone down the usual bright orange tint. It is still orange, but not as dramatic as some of his other creations.

The inside of the case was royal blue plush. This was the usual case they use at Becker’s, including a humidifier tube. Outside hard case in a water-proof royal blue cloth zipper cover, & a zipper music pocket.
