Here's a photo of my Wesson Clipper sitting in its hard case as supplied by Rees. The case is excellent.
(and the melodeon is superb!) (:)

soft gig bags are good to but not always 'safe' for transporting boxes,for UK market I think it's good to have a few in stock.Charlie's hard cases are little bigger I think.

I don't have many spare so they won't be appearing on my website.

Post by: Malcolm Clapp on January 20, 2019, 04:34:46 AM: Maybe Steve C. is subtly suggesting you build your own case.... A reciprocating saw might come in handy >:E

Building one's own case would be nice, but I was thinking this one: might be a little big, but not by a lot.
I have a different one in the same series and they are pretty solid. Not Pelicans/Storms/Nanuks/SKB but decent.
Another possible for Pokerworks, if available your side of Pond, are the some of the DeWalt/Bosch/Rigid/etc. powertool boxes (look on Kaizen foam' website). Some are pretty good size and decent price.

BTW, the Nanuk 940 is a really nice case; depending upon the color, they can sometimes be found at serious discount. But now we are talking 2x the price of the plainer ABS cases/boxes.
