I'm looking for a case to carry my hohner 48 chord, or a inexpensive alternative. Anyone got one laying around??

if you can get to richard rittenhouse's parking garage attendant
before morning, you can get one cheap.

I made one out of canvas once, it opened at the end and had a flap that buttoned over it. I went back to using the original box though.

A good design for a chord harmonica case would be something like that ice mummy dude, Oetzi, they call him, who froze to death around the Austria/Italy border several thousand years ago. I made a quiver for my longbow arrows like this and it has served me for many years. It would basically be a big pouch with a flap on the end and a stiffening rod sewn in.

Brother Jerl,

I remember the "Hustler" pool cue case and am pursuing that avenue for
you. Here are several resources, and reletively inexpensive, too!

Ask if this case could be end padded on both ends and have interior
padding. Hey for $26 this could be a new option for 48 chord players
everywhere! And you could be the first!

It's all about the capability and reasonable cost.

By-the-bye, Murphy's is considering doing a harmonica open house to
promote their harp products. What would it cost for what time-window of the
Dallas Harmonica Trio? Murphy's is carrying Hohner and Suzuki primarily.
Crunch time at the cash register, hmm?
