Buxton's Shoulder Instrument Case is a container system of generous proportions. The upper tray is a collection of carefully arranged instrument racks sitting above "crime-scene" style body outlines and descriptions of the instruments they are intended to hold. The lower level also contains racks for a few specific instruments, but with plenty of open space to accommodate ancillary items which inevitably customize almost every shoulder set.

Each case is made from sturdy .060-inch anodized aluminum. All seams have been heli-arc welded for added strength and rigidity. Hinges, clasps and internal fittings are of stainless steel which won't deform with repeated use. Instrument illustrations and item numbers are silk screened directly onto the case with a black epoxy ink which has been proven not to fade even after thousands of autoclave cycles.
