Re: [Harp-L] Gindick's Got a Hetrick Harp Case on Youtube

[nonidesign@xxxxxxx]

I am curious if the lid comes off the Hetrick case because I could use a case for open stage jams that is smaller than the one I have. If the lid isn't removable it doesn't work for me (I remember the old days when I had to use a stick to prop open the lid of a beat up old trumpet case). 

There a few cases out there that mount to mic stands. I don't like the idea because the case makes the whole thing top heavy and just begging to be knocked over by me or someone on stage. 

I currently use a Roadready brand case for a small PA head (Guitar Center) that is constructed like the Hetrick case. It's about 18"x12"x7" and the lid comes off. I mount it to a sturdy PA stand with locking casters (also Guitar Center). I've got it blocked out to hold effects, cords, etc. 
I called the Hetrick company and asked if they sold the acrylic dividers seperately from their case but they only sell extra sections if you buy the case. So I went out into the shop at work and cut some 1/8" thick plastic panels (the brand name is Sintra) and made my own. It took about a 1/2 hour and was free. It holds 16 harps (I carry A,B,Bb,C,D,E,F,G and a full set of back-ups). Now I have the same type of harp holder as the Hetrick case (cross lap panels that slot together), but it is custom fit to my needs for the case I already have. I'm thinking about adding a bottom panel to the harp holder so that I can pull it out of my large case and set it on my amp, or a smaller case if I want.

Their customer service dept. told me they're working on a version that mounts on a mic stand?  Any idea when that will be ready?

I can't believe how small this case is. It's much smaller in width and length than the plastic Horner stand by case which only holds 12 harps.

Thanks,

Guy

Does the lid come off for ease of use on stage?
