   Here's several:
   Look for ammunition pouches of suitable size at your friendly 
neighborhood military surplus store. Several harp players like 'em.
   Also, Hohner and several other manufacturers make harp belts. Contact 
Kevin's Harps at 1-800-274-2776 for info and prices.
   Or, get a case. Fly fishing boxes are good cases (several folks I know 
use 'em) and Hohner makes a custom harp case (which I personally use). 
Usually, when I play on stage, I open the case and leave it on a music 
stand that I've tilted so the top is horizontal. Works great.
