What's in My Bassoon Case?

In this video I demonstrate my Wiseman bassoon case, everything that I carry in it, and how I organize it all in the case.

I have and still use the oval Gewa case my Heckel came in, but normally it's the Bonna - the Wiseman cases are nice!

Hi :)
It is my first time to put comment on your video.
I have additional thing.
Page tuner for my tablet and extra battery back.
I found that it is very easy to use electric page turner for tablet and seeing score with tablet is very comfortable.

I don't put a cloth in between the wing and long joint. I'm wondering what kind of damage can be done if there's no cloth?

Cool, I use a school-owned Fox Renard Artist Model 240, and that case is shaped like an old-timey coffin.
