Why thanks for the props, Bee! And yes, indeed I've indeed been making 
leather goods for decades and have been quietly and happily 
concentrating on harmonica-related accessories for the last couple of 
years. My work can bee seen here: http://silverwingleather.com/

Right now my most popular cases are my "Compact" line of hybrid 
leather/plastic 7, 14, and most recently 21-diatonic harmonica cases.

My "Softy Singles" and "Softy Double" cases are also popular. Sort of 
Cadillac versions of those flimsy "leather" open-ended cases that come 
with certain harmonicas when they are new, except mine are of quality 
leather with lids that snap shut. One of my clients recently pointed out 
that the double harp case also serves as a business card wallet. Perfect 
for those of us entrepreneurial musicians out looking for gigs.

I just laid in a stash of several different shades of brown and even one 
in red leather to add to my extensive collection of black garment and 
upholstery leather that I use for these handy little cases. You do want 
to truly protect that $100 "Pocket Full Of Soul" that you ~actually~ 
want to keep handy in your pocket or purse don't ya?

End of blatant self-promotion!

Thanks,

Michelle

PS: Bee has one of my hard-molded single diatonic cases that you 
scrolled by to see the Softies.
