concertina hard case

[Seán Ó Fearghail]

Hi, at the weekend i saw a concertina case that was black plastic, with rounded edges and i can find anywhere that sells them. Does anyone know who makes them or where i could get one? they're very tidy and neat. Does any one know what i'm talking about? any info would be great thanks!

Hi all,

thanks for info. they look very similar to the cases that frank edgley uses i think. i've seen edel fox with one too i think.

I don't know what Frank Edgley and Edel Fox use, but I know the Button Box does cases if you like.

no i'm afraid thats not the one i'm looking for. it more like the edgley cases.

I think I know just you're talking about. I have a small blue one. It has rounded edges and looks like it is made from cycolac. It is light and much smaller than most cases. It doesn't have any padding to speak of- just a faux-velvet lining. It fits nicely into a back pack with other stuff.

Here is the thread with my previous posting, and some pictures. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8716.

It's conceivable that if we get enough of us together we could have somebody make us some of these cases.

Hi David, spot on! thats it. yeah pity nobody's making similiar ones. I'll just have to keep the eye out.

Hi ofearghail7

 

Search "makeup case" or "train case". I think that's the name. Here's one a member made and modified to fit of a slightly different style:

Samsonite and American Tourister made some too. Here are a few different styles, just for some ideas:

Leo, you are spot on. I use an American Tourister for my baritone, having ripped out the interior and then replaced it with covered padding. I do put a strap over it in case it unlatches. This is a very sturdy case, and as traveled all the way to Hawaii with me.

 

I even snagged one out of a garage sale I stumbled upon, just in case I needed a second.

"concertina hard case" - I think that describes quite a few of us here on Concertina.net
