Has anyone got one of these cases yet?
I am thinking of getting one, but I am not sure if it is worth the money, they look good but I am not sure if they would be too durable.
If anyone has bought one, I would be interested to know what you think about them.
Thanks, Ryan

It looks similar to the cases Piedmonts come with, only bigger. The cheap Piedmont cases seem to hold up fine. I know at least one harp player who filled it with Golden Melodies. I imagine it would hold up, but it seems pretty pricey for something that style.

I just purchased the Seydel 20 harp case. It's great and all of your harps fit snugly in 'narrow' sleeves. There are 2 loops for chromatic harps but mine didn't stay in during transit to a gig so I carry them separate. I used it on stage Saturday at a gig and my harps were all in one place safe from getting stomped on or knocked off my amp.
I bought mine from ezreeder on ebay for 75ish US dollars. There isn't much room much else like a mic, cable etc... but I carry all of that in another bag with my amp so it's not a problem for me.
It's a cheaper alternative than the Fender Mississippi Sax case. It's got a hardshell plastic case but the hardshell is not super bomber so you'll probably damage your horns if you sit or an amp falls on it....
The strap is a nice feature. There is no smell like the musicians friend harp case [it was reported in the comments section]
Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Chris

I have maybe a dozen cases, a few are my customs, all work well. I bought the Seydel when they first came out, love it, only one I use! The 3 rows of pockets make it easy to keep the harps organized, always have the right keys at hand. Plenty durable, well worth the money. I do think an outside pocket would be nice though and I would like a handle too.
