Robin Harrison Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Often a conversation in this forum, I noticed this link on the posting for the sale of a Jeffries ( see Buy & Sell). They look expensive but great protection for a beautiful concertina ..............see the advert itself for an image of the case.

Robin http://kingham.merion.co.uk Poor website - could have expanded much more on eg the gallery of completed cases, as well as other details. Are these cases suitable as flight cases I wonder. Does anyone here have experience of these cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin http://kingham.merion.co.uk Hello Robin, Presumably you're meaning the advert I placed here? As SteveS has observed, the website isn't especially very friendly. I did some research when I first bought the Jeffries about having a bespoke solution. I can't exactly remember why I went with Kingham, but I found them to be very friendly over the phone... and up for the challenge of a concertina case. (It seems like most of the bespoke case people I contacted tended to cater for guitars or orchestral instruments. ) And yes, it wasn't inexpensive to have the case fitted. That said, I've felt it to be an excellent investment to protect the Jeffries, which was a major investment at the time! Though I've travelled with the Jeffries in its Kingham case, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting the instrument go too far out of my sight--so wouldn't be keen on having it travel as checked baggage. (Too valuable to go walk-a-bout!) I'm plenty happy to knock pint glasses and music stands over with it (in the case), though. The instrument is very well protected for this sort of thing, and I feel like it has been money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Harrison Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 .................and here's another, much cheaper alternative that apparently you can drive a truck over. You never know.

Very positive double latches and seals hermetically which is great in very dry or wet environments. Tough as nails. I don't think it would take anything bigger than a standard vintage concertina - 6" across the flats.. Mine is black rather than olive drab - there is also a yellow one. Here is an even cheaper source with the other colours: http://www.amazon.com/camera-photo/dp/B0018NE6GW Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
