Halifax Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have a proper case that has one proper latch. While walking down to a session, the latch caught on my coat and the case opened its maw. No damage---the wee beastie stayed put---(but oh, my nerves!). I'm going to install another latch just in case... Thanks for the reminder.

Theo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I couldn't have expressed my thoughts with such sparkling wit, but I completely agree with the message John is presenting. I get asked to repair far too many concertinas with serious damage that would have been prevented if the concertina travelled in a good hard case.

Geoff Wooff Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) As I suggested in the thread "Stolen Concertina" ,posted in the public announcements section, perhaps the thief was after the sports bag with the fancy name or the camera that lived in it along with the concertina ? So perhaps another reason to have a dedicated ( proper ) case . Edited May 3, 2017 by Geoff Wooff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
