Need suggestions for a new pipe case

[DesertCeltic]

I also have the Bagpiper Case and it is a great soft case for my McCallum ABW pipes. Soft cases don't offer as much protection as a hard case, but you can fit them into airline overhead areas easier than most hard cases. I dread the idea of checking my bagpipes and hoping that some TSA employee knows how to repack them if they inspect them.

I've had nearly every case there is over the years. I have ten or so now. Seems like everytime I buy a set of pipes it comes in a case, but when I sell pipes nobody wants the case.

I really like the semi-rigid cases made by ProTec/ProPak here in Orange County. They're sold by various Scottish places under various names. Places in Scotland even sell them.

They're cloth with rigid dense foam lining, with zippers. The come in black, burgundy, mid blue, etc. There's a big zipper pocket large enough for fullsize sheet music and books. And a shoulder strap.

I also like the long soft case, more like a "gig bag" as legit players call them. The one I have is similar to, but not identical to the one linked by MacMan above.

What I've used a lot is a 24" plastic toolbox by Stanley that I got at Lowe's Hardware for $17. It fits pipes perfectly and is so strong you can stand on it. It has accessories compartments in the lid. Stong, lightweight, inexpensive. Hard to top it.
