case

One of the fun things about being a harmonica player is to make your own harmonica case. Cases exist on the market specifically built to carry harmonicas, but to carry a lot of harmonicas they’re commonly large and heavy. If you’re looking for something cheap and in a small package, look no further than your local stores. These three cases are from Target and Walmart, the most expensive one being $13 and the least $4. continue reading...

My student (thanks Dan) came in with a new case yesterday. It was a RedHead 2-Pistol Aluminum Gun Case, and it was a real nice size and weight, and well built. $50 bucks at Bass Pro shop (http://www.basspro.com/RedHead-2Pistol-Aluminum-Gun-Case/product/1308281...). The foam is perforated so that any shape can be pinched out and it fit his harps really well. continue reading...

Fellow harmonica player Steve Webster found the case company My Case Builder at http://www.mycasebuilder.com where you can design your own foam insert to fit in their selection of case designs and sizes. Take a look at the pics I just posted at https://www.facebook.com/bluesharmonica of Steve's final design. Thanks for sharing Steve!

Every now and again I'll see a new student use a small zip-lock bag to store their harmonica, or a large zip-lock bag for all of their harmonicas. Get rid of the bag, harmonicas need to breathe to vent the moisture from playing.
