Re: [Harp-L] Where Do You Put Your Case?



I have. Plus, I'm also usually playing a mandolin as well, so I'm trying to all this stuff, maneuver in a tight spot, with the mando, with the harps. I've got one of those Seydel 14-harp cases, so if it spills, the harps are held in there tight. That amp brace sounds like a very good idea. I'd make something with four sides and a bottom that fits the case snug on all four sides, so it fits in there tightly. That's an excellent Idea mike.

Because I never know what songs we're going to play, or in what keys, I generally load up my harp-case with my whole collection of Lee Oskars, (major keys, 2 kinds of minor keys, melody makers) and a cx-12.

Thinking I had lucked out, I put it back on the amp, turned around and did it AGAIN!  This time, I was not so lucky.  Harps flew in all directions.  It took me five minutes before I could get everything back in the case.  Worse was enduring the sneers from the guitar players.
