The Case for Harmonica Cases

I made my harp box from an old metal fishing tackle box I’ve had since a kid. I lined the trays with cardboard and have been using it for years. It’d gained so many signatures and stickers that I’ve sandblasted and re-painted it twice. Gone are the days when you could carry four harps and play with just about anyone. Now days we’re playing lots of flats, sharps, and minors along with the majors. Add in some spares (ever blown a reed during a gig?) and some kind of case is needed to haul that stuff. Depending on where we play, I also carry a little folding table to set my box on.
Here’s another view of my tackle.
