Ptarmigan Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm just wondering if anyone else here actually uses a Triple Concertina Case? My Wheatstone Æola Baritone English & my Wheatstone Æola Tenor/Treble English actually go in the same case as my G/D Lachenal Anglo: N.B. I don't fly, so this case only ever travels in my car.

Robin Madge Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have a fibreglass pipes case bought from Hobgoblin in about 1984/5 that will hold three Anglos. You have to check that the case has been cut deep enough when it comes out of the mould as not all of them will be the full depth needed. Over time the hinges become a bit flexible and the lid flexes so I have a strap around it as a safety precaution. Also don't rely on it being shower-proof in the rain as it can get in along the join of base and lid. Robin Madge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Digby Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Mine was built for me by Andrew Blakeney-Edwards as a Christmas present and is still going strong after 30 years of constant use. It has been known to double as an overnight bag with the central space holding a few CDs, toothbrush, and a change of socks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious though, what are all those Concertinas? By the way, your "toothbrush, and a change of socks!" reminds me of a friend who arrived at Miltown Malbay one year, back in the 70s, with a Fiddle case under his arm. Inside he had a spare shirt, underpants & a toothbrush .... plus his Whistle .... he didn't even play the Fiddle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see what your case looks like? Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm curious though, what are all those Concertinas? I don't know about the the other two but the one on the right is a Jeffries ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Worrall Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Yes. Built it meself, last year. About 3/4 inch padded insulation all round, for Texas heat. Added a humidifier, for dry winter central heat. Come Armageddon, we may all be smithereens, but those concertinas won't be!

Looks like Triple Cases might be a lot more common than I originally thought. By the way, I'm curious to know what each of those Concertinas is? Is it an optical illusion or is the one on the right a little larger? Cheers Dick Edited June 18, 2009 by Ptarmigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
