[Harp-L] Subject: Re: (fishing tackle) Harp Case

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

If this is the one, it looks very cool (and a perfect harp case if it isn't  
too heavy), but as long as you can easily load it in the car for a gig, not a  
problem.  Not sure it'd be air-travel worthy, though.  It's not at all  what 
I'd previously seen in tackle box cases.  They would work, but weren't  as 
compact or as see-through (harp friendly) so I use the big grey one I bought  for 
sewing threads, accessories....they're perfect for that purpose  too. 
 
 Anyone thinking of this one (on ebay) should be aware it has a couple  of 
flaws..and with the shipping (and no other bids) comes out  to roughly $20.  So, 
probably not worth it, unless you can replace the  broken catch yourself..and 
glue on the rubber strip.
 
I'm pretty sure my local K-Mart..or equivalent stores (Target?) carry  
fishing tackle boxes...Modell's sporting goods?  worth a shot...

i bought a fishing tackle box for $35 at   academy sports near austin... was 
loading gear into it...noticed how  suitable  it  would be for harps...tried 
a 
harp in the top storage  area, and it fit  perfectly!  went to academy and 
got 
another  one!  here's the model,  and they have it on amazon, i noticed...but 
 
for $49...  :(

i fit 19 harps  on top, which has it's own lid.   very ez to pick out a harp. 
  
unzip the top, open the entire lid,   and you have storage for  another 20 
harps, plus mic and cord!
used it at a  jam the other  night, and it was perfect.  and to think i 
almost 
spent  $200 on a  case that can sit on a mic stand...
nobody gave me grief over how  it  looked, and i've had comments about my 
chrome case before...of course,  when  they hear me play, nobody can speak!  
yeah, 
i'm that   good...LOL!

seriously, if you're in the market, that case kicks it   completely.  also 
great for fishing tackle!

this is my first  post,  but i've gotten a lot out of the site! can't wait to 
get the  kinder afb that  was posted the other day!  i'm gonna blow the 
guitars  
off the  stage!
