lxnx Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've only got a soft case for my Lachenal, and was wondering if anywhere sells snug fitting hard cases for them? I've seen several nice boxes that are sold with new concertinas, which have: hard casing horizontal storage (so the concertina is on its side when in the box) padding around the sides (so the bellows are pushed closed, instead of being able to open or wiggle about while stored) Is there anywhere to buy cases like this for different makes of concertina? Or are all concertinas so different that they'd need to be made to measure? I'm based in the UK, but can probably order from anywhere within Europe.

malcolmbebb Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I bought mine from Marcus Music, where I got the box. It has the corner pieces which hold the box quite snugly and protect the buttons from bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxnx Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I contacted Marcus Music, and Dave Marcus was extremely helpful. Unfortunately I think the box they offer didn't seem to be quite a good fit for my concertina (it seemed that there'd be too much room around the edge for the concertina to wiggle around in while moving). The Button Box seem to offer a nice option where they have a box that they fit corner blocks to based your specifications. Is there anyone who does this in the UK?

AlexCJones Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Years ago, I bought a case from a guy named John Fallon. A John Fallon case came with my Edgley at the time, so I ordered a blocked case from the same case maker. The cases are blocked, have aluminum-reinforced edges, and each one has a shoulder strap so you don't have to use up a hand carrying one concertina. I don't know if John Fallon is still making cases. I can't find "Fallon Cases" on the web. I just now sent an email to the email address that I last used in 2005 and I still have not received an email indicating invalid address yet. So, maybe he is still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryK Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I believe Frank Edgley has taken over producing the Fallon cases. They are very nice. Contact Frank to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danersen Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 lynx, Even though you indicated your preference for Europe, Greg Jowaisas is worthy of your consideration. You can contact him using a forum PM. Be Well, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
