Thread Name: Help: Instrument carry bags?
Subject: RE: Help: Instrument carry bags?
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking (the closest thing that comes to mind is the quilted canvas bag my brother puts his Civil War rifle in when traveling to reenactments).

My mother made for me a "quiver" to carry one of my lap dulcimers in when I needed my hands free but didn't have any place to leave the instrument. It's literally just a cylinder of fake fur with velour lining and a long strap that runs from one end to the other--perfect for wearing diagonally across my chest so I can carry the dulcimer on my back. I can just walk around or sit and not have to worry about my hands or keeping it balanced. Of course, fake fur is not a requirement--my brother's Union infantry wouldn't let me play in their camp with a modern-looking instrument bag.
