This snare case can be used as both a backpack and a handheld bag, making it easy to carry. Applicable snare size: 14" x 5 1/2" I haven't used it much, so I don't think the condition is too bad, but there may be some minor dirt or age-related wear and tear. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues. Please understand that this is a used item. I am selling this because I purchased a snare & pedal case from the same manufacturer and no longer need it. I apologize, but I cannot ship on weekends.
