Clare Elizabeth Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I want to carry mine in a back pack because I am going on a 2 month hike. It needs to be light as well as strong - any ideas? Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils' Dream Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Take a look at the Nanuks. Similar to Storm/Pelican but slightly different dimensions and a tad lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils' Dream Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Though not small, the Nanuk 918 has room for foam and blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a pack of sandwiches and a beer! Actually, I am not knocking the 918 as I am thinking of getting one myself. It seems to be the only bullet-proof case than can hold a concertina bigger than 6 1/4". But it is really wide at nearly 17" externally. You would need a big backpack! If the OP's concertina is a standard 6 1/4" then a Nanuk 908 or a Pelican/Storm iM2075 would keep your precious safe. Added: One problem with these types of cases is that they are often used for high-end camera gear and might be a magnet for thieves. The OP might be better off with a battered, old-fashioned hard shell ladies make-up case. Edited October 12, 2020 by Don Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils' Dream Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Agree with Don about the "stealability" issue. Another half-way decent case, and quite light, often can be found cheap and faded NOS on Ebay are the Hohner 10x, originally made for Pokerworks,, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend https://www.skbcases.com/industrial/products/prod-detail.php?d=s17&id=1092&s=s#.X4Rx1NAzbtQ, it's "only" 16 1/4 inches and seems quite reliable too. Acquired for my Lachenal baritone in the first place the case now houses my BT Aeola (which also benefits from 0.4 inches extra internal depth; 9.00 vs. 8.60). iSeries 1510-9 Waterproof Utility Case w/cubed foam Model: 3i-1510-9B-C Interior Length: 15.00 in (38.10 cm) Interior Width: 10.50 in (26.67 cm) Interior Depth: 9.00 in (22.86 cm) Edited October 12, 2020 by Wolf Molkentin div.
