That bag is a DJ bag and is designed to carry 100 Records (not CDs) so it's roughly larger than a record with a ton of pockets for microphones, cables etc...
I carry my harps in a cherrywood box I got at SPAH in 1992. I have two other lee oskar soft cases that I carry for my spare harps.
I'm very happy with this bag. It's well built and very rugged. There's nothing like having a gig back that you can throw on your back while you're running through an airport to catch another flight or walking abround a jazz fest waiting for the next show.
