I have received a Low Bb Lehart flute:
Came without a case, so I need one for it. I’m thinking of something like a roll-bag.
Any suggestion of something suitable for this kind of flute? Available online preferably.
Sorry… no suggestions for a case, but man that is a beautiful piece! 
Drum stick bags, pool cue cases and pistol cases all make good flute cases.
These are popular. http://www.ebay.com/itm/310837102808?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Double check the measurements though.

This FEL case (size is 45x17cm) is perfect for a Bb Lehart :
That looks nice. Is this one?

Where could it be purchased online?
I think that my flute case is a bit longer and also larger than this one and if I rembember I needed it because the Bb flute diameter is bigger. 40cm long is enough with the model on your link but the flute won’t fit in because of the diameter.
You should ask FEL : http://www.france-europe-lutherie.com/contact/ . I bought my flute case at this workshop in Brittany : http://www.diato.org/contacte.htm , maybe you could ask them if they still have this model from FEL (45x17cm).
I have a Jean Cavallaro soft flute case / roll, which I like a lot. There are a number of options on the web site. Good luck !
Can recommend an excellent, very well made case. Look into Northwind cases- they are beautiful and made to last over time. The company is located in Arizona. The maker of the cases is easy to work with. Great product.
All suggestions are welcome.
I’m not sure if the flute fits in this 11x11" Cavallaro. The flute itself is longer than 11".
Actually, I have one of those Cavallaro… for a keyless Olwell. The Bb Lehart seems to fit pretty well:
Perhaps an easier solution would be using the Cavallaro for the Lehart while find a new case for the Olwell, for example Northwind or:

Considering the option of using the Cavallaro for the Bb Lehart…
Now I need a case for an Olwell keyless pratten style flute in D:
EMS HD3R Multi Purpose 3 Slot (14x6x3")
EMS HD3RX Multi 3 Slot-Long (16x6x3") This seems to be like the 40cm FEL above.
Would the Olwell fit in the 14" case or would the 16" one be better ?
Northwind (A bit expensive…)
There seems to be two versions: C-foot / B-foot. For what I’ve read, the one suitable for a wooden flute is the B-foot? Although I don’t know what this *-foot thing means?

True, but spending 15% or so of a flute’s value on good protection (from physical knocks, temperature changes, and humidity fluctuations) seems worth it to me. After years of pistol-casing it, I bought a Northwind case and Altieri case cover with a Humistat humidifier for my flute’s 10th birthday, and I love it. That said, the Early Music Shop cases look nice, too.
Ditto Tintin .
Also due to the trouble of ordering from Europe, customs, VAT and all that…
I’ve found this in the UK: http://www.justflutes.com/northwind-flute-case-with-cover-product60547.html
I still don’t understand the option “C footjoint/B footjoint”. Which one would be suitable for an Olwell?
They’re referring to the Boehm silver flutes, which may have footjoints going to C, or extended down to B. The cases can be made custom by Northwind (in the U.S.) to fit certain wood flutes - not available from stock at retailers.
The 16x6x3 is 40cm long internally and the padded ‘slots’ are about 3.5 cm wide and deep. Hidden inside all the fabric is a glued plywood box - mine seems fairly sturdy but I wouldn’t stand on it. The dividers within the slots (not between them) are just moveable blocks of expanded polystyrene with fabric loosely glued on - you can cut them down and re-wrap.
