Rich C R Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) My Baritone Treble Aeola came in a modern case but the case is on the big side and there are things I don't like about it, so I am trying to find something more suitable. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I should add I live in the UK. Edited January 7, 2019 by Rich C R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro_squeezer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Rich, I've had really good luck with the Pelican/Hardigg cases ... they're polymer and you may have to get creative with the inside, depending on whether or not you want bellows compression, etc. They come with a customizable open-cell foam. I usually keep the 'tina in a protective silk or velvet bag for additional finish protection. Since they're virtually unbreakable and good water protection, I'd have a look. https://www.pelicancasesforless.com/t-pelican-case-sizes.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I second that - however the well-known size can surprisingly house even a TT Aeola, but that is exactly it. Don‘t know if there‘s a still handy larger size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Would you care to provide a pic or some of the instrument in the look-like thread Rich? I would love to get an impression of your newly acquired BT! Best wishes - ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I have made my own hard cases from plywood.... the one for the Baritone/Treble is made from 5mm thick plywood and is strong enough to sit on. I had thought to cover it with leather like the original case, it being the same shape , but it is fine with a coat of water proof varnish. Another case for two trebles is made just the correct length for a comfortable seat when turned on end. Bellows blocking and internal storm collar included. So, my recommendation is to make your own. You could try Chris Algar who sometimes has original cases for sale. Edited January 7, 2019 by Geoff Wooff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already asked Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
