[Harp-L] Hohner Vinyl Chromatic cases

[George Miklas]

"Bulky and not form-fitting." I'm confused because I use the Hohner zipper
case. It perfectly fits typical Hohner wood comb, 12-hole chromatics (270,
270 Deluxe, Larry Adler Pro 12, Chromonika II, Toots Hard Bopper, Toots
Mellow Tone, Discovery 48 and Xpression). 10-hole chromatics (260 and slide
harp) also fit with room to spare.

I use them for my custom Toots Hard Boppers because they are thinner than
plastic boxes.
