Hi Dave,

You may want to check through the horns listed at
http://www.contrabass.com/pages/classified.html - I think there are
still several contras listed there...

Best of luck!

>didn't LeBlanc make a triple Eb/Bb/A case??

As far as I can tell from the web, there are Eb/Bb/A triple cases
made by Leblanc, GEWA and Wiseman, and a quadruple clarinet case by
Wiseman.  Wiseman also makes a case for bass clarinet + two other
clarinets (I suspect that the other two cannot be contra-alto and
contrabass...).

WW&BW carries the Leblanc triple ($186) and the Wiseman triple case
(but it isn't cheap - $645 at the discount price) - see
http://www.woodwindbrasswind.com/productlisting.jsp?node=8314.

I don't know of any combination case that fits a bass clarinet plus a
lower clarinet (not even A/Bb double bass clarinet cases), but you
can always have Altieri (http://www.altieribags.com) make you a gig
bag.  The combination contra-alto/contrabass gig bag shown on
http://www.contrabass.com/pages/cbcl.html (scroll down toward the
bottom) was made by Altieri.
