Will a Yamaha Xenon double case be suitable for my VB Strad?

UKtrumpetman

I’ve got the offer of a Yamaha Xenon double trumpet case -old style one.
So my question is,
Will a Yamaha Xenon double case be suitable for my Bach Strad in particular?
I would love to hear from members that are currently using, or have used a Xeno case for other horns

It looks like this one https://reverb.com/uk/item/78499710-yamaha-xeno-double-trumpet-hard-case-case-only

Thanks in advance

The case will fit a Bach Strad. It's a decent case but 200GBP is a ridiculous price for that used case. It doesn't really have strap attaching capabilities. I'd pass on this one, but if you find one for about 100, sure.

Thanks @abontrumpet
It isn't the one in the link, but elsewhere in the UK - I am pleased that a Bach Strad will fit - the measurements given to me by the seller didn't make sense, so I thought I'd ask the experts

Ah! Sorry, yes, you can feel confident that it will fit. Be wary if they can't produce decent measurements for the case as they might be a scammer. Internal length should be around 19.5inches or 49.5cm. Outside from around 21.5 inches.
