Subj: Re: Price of Zonda reeds and reed cases

I have a Harrison reed case, and it is a real pain. I have problems with
it closing correctly and my reeds get knocked around and chipped. I does
however look very nice. The thing that I have found that works well is to
have several of the cases you mentioned and keep them, along with new
boxes of reeds in a tuperware container. this allows you to keep
alternating your reeds, not to mention they don't get chipped this way.
