Subj: Re: [kl] cost of wiseman cases

Meighan,

I paid $325 British Pounds Sterling at the beginning
of the year for each of my cases. That translated to
about $495 US at the time. I have 2 of them (one for
my 4 clarinets, and one case for flute, oboe, soprano
sax, and english horn.) I can't imagine how I was
doing those doubling jobs without these cases!

If you are going to ClarinetFest in Stockholm, I bet
Howard Wiseman will be there, and will take custom
orders for cases there with the price in pounds (which
allows you to do the currency conversion yourself
instead of the retail music stores doing it. This
could save you $50-100 a case, if the rate for US
Dollar to GBP is good.)

By the way, Forest, you got a referral from me (at
Wiseman cases.) I ordered my cases after I saw your
case at ClarinetFest in New Orleans...<grin>. Thanks
for taking the time to show me your case. I was sold
after seeing how the troughs worked with the 4
clarinets.
