BTW, the finest Hran case I have ever owned is a custom built case made of solid oak with a rope carrying "handle". It's a beauty, with 45 degree "sides" so it can stand vertically or on that angle. The lid has space for eight tippers. However, I would hate to have it tossed around an airplane cargo hold and I would hate to have to pay freight by the pound... it's a heavy sucker !I'm sure any carpenter of even slight ability could make a wooden case that would do the job.
