<< , too, have picked up some cases made by Howard Wiseman in London...
Great stuff, not cheap, but truly a unique design...especially the bass
clarinet cases...recently managed to do a concert w/bass/Bb/Eb, got the
whole mess packed in 1 case, certainly beats hell out of the old method
of carrying a bunch of separate cases around. >>

I think I better contact Mr. Wiseman. In a concert this coming Sunday I am
playing Bb, A, Eb, and Bass. (yeah, I know...I'm a glutton for
punishment....but the choice of parts was mine....and too much fun, Eb on
Copland "El Salon Mexico" and Bass on "American in Paris.... < big grin >).

The biggest problem is AFTER rehearsal......the violinists are already home,
having a beer, the stagehands are tuning off the lights and locking doors, and
I'm STILL swabbinb out instruments.

However, the pay is GREAT. I'm getting paid THREE times as much as I usually
do.......(Something must be wrong with my math. Is three times zero still
zero?????)
