For many years a toiletries bag took care of my harps and a JT-30. Harps were laid out on top of the amp at a gig because you couldn’t find them easily in the bag.
Today there seem to be a lot of soul-less cases made from aluminum, plastic/poly-something, ballistic materials; fur-lined briefcases; and machine stitched canvas. So, seeing these 16-harp leather cases (on Etsy), I thought they were a nice organic choice.
I had a harp player friend in Michigan, Hal Iwan, who started making cases and offered to make one for me. The gun in the photo is a prop. No crocodiles we’re injured in the manufacturing.
A friend bought me a smaller case (long, low lunch box) from a little novelty goods store in Capitola. It only holds 8 harps. I don’t think this was how Leonardo da Vinci expected his mural would be used.
