Kautilya Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Here is someone who can make you a new one: David May Very nice, but very expensive! Chris Very nice and Very cheap hold the bellows tight with a quick release medical tourniquet http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=tourniquet&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=ELastic+tourniquet&_osacat=0 wrap in a (usually) free, soft, two handled cloth bag (the 'for life' type) with cloth handles uppermost to whip it out at mo's notice(at the checkout when u are short of cash, as the ticket inspector approaches and u are on the earlier train...) And place it in your leather (even better, embroidered/ woven tapestry with zip lid vanity case /overnight) case (with carrying handle and shoulder strap) . search: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=leather+vanity+case&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&LH_Auction=1&_odkw=vanity+case&_osacat=0 These are good; and this one's cheap: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/retro-80s-constellation-tapestry-look-vanity-case_W0QQitemZ220536215608QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Tickets_Travel_Luggage_CA?hash=item3358fb9838 When you see what takes your fancy ask seller the inner dimensions. You will find little competition for these cases so take your time. Watch for high postage on low cost 99p items. They usually have spare pockets good for screwdriver, safety pin (spring), spare straps, alcopops, anything for the weekend ...). Trad concertina cases have none of these. And they normally have a lock that works AND a key....... Double zip ones take a small padlock. I never had a bad one.... Also it won't get mixed up with all the anonymous black boxes which lie round all over the place at a session; you can see the thief walking out the door with yours... Or you can make your own like this fellah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EgNXka2zW0 Edited January 7, 2010 by Kautilya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Drinkwater Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I suppose you've been in touch with Chris Algar, Simon? He sometimes sells cases on their own. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unca Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi Simon; I just posted a little 20b that comes with a old OLD box that while not strictly speaking leather, would make a great box for the squeeze... and you get a lachenal too! http://www.concertin...showtopic=10640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
