lstein Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Does anyone have a padded gig case they want to part with? I'm looking for something like the Fuselli gig bag shown at the top of this page: http://www.buttonbox.com/cases.html#ConcertinaCases Thanks!

Geoff Wooff Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Why not try to find a photographic equipment bag at a flea market ( or whatever you call the events in your part of the world, 'garage sale', 'swap meet' ' 'yard sale' etc .) When people still toted camera and several lenses, back in the days before digital cameras, these padded shoulder bags were usually big enough for a concertina and the straps strong enough too. The padding is usually at least as good as the type you've identified and can be bought very cheaply. I have a couple of the Fueslli bags but for a concertina I prefer an old camera bag I bought for a couple of Euros. Over the shoulder and it is stable, open the lid to access instrument or purse,recording device, lip gloss or whatever... when on the hoof around a festival...

Paul_Hardy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 A camera bag is good, but I use the padded, waterproof, cool bags that are used to take a 6-pack of beer on a picnic - like this Thermos bag as an example. A fraction of the price of a specialist hexagonal bag, but works well, and doesn't look something expensive worth stealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just to point out that a gig bag should not be used for long-term storage during the extremes of humidity that we experience in Eastern Canada - very dry in winter and very moist in summer. (Lincoln lives in Toronto). Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
