More than that for triples.
Also Alto SAx,/Sop Sax/ Flute &  Tenor/ Sop /Flute.
There's also the triple Clarinet case: Eb/Bb/A.
I've also seen triple Flute cases: Picc/Sop/Alto.
Of course there are triple & Quad Trumpet cases (one being a picc).
And I had a triple Trombone case made, albeit for Piccolo, Sopranino &
Soprano Trombones. But if you want some other combination, I have info where
traypacks for any combination can be made.

Even Contrabasson/OctoContraBass Clar/Double Contrabass Flute (But don't ask
me to carry it!) :-)

AFAIK, the *Selmer* Traypack only comes in as/cl/fl and ts/cl/fl,
although of course other manufacturers make all sorts of double and
triple cases.  I don't have any triples myself: my double
contra-alto/contrabass clarinet gig bag is bad enough ;-)

Still waiting for the quad tuba case: euph/F tuba/CC tuba/sousaphone
- or maybe that should be a cimbasso... ;-)

  They sold one, I don't know if they made it. Most of the instrument companies don't make their own cases.
