Re: Locked Cases

Each of the two latches on each of my clarinet cases have locks. I have no idea where the keys are and probably haven't seen them for 30 years or more.

As a band teacher I saw more than one instance of a kid who had locked his instrument case and then couldn't find the key (or had left it at home). Some years I took the keys out of all the rental instrument cases before I gave the instruments to the kids.

If someone wants to steal an instrument, the lock will only stop him long enough to get to a hidden spot where he can either jimmy the lock or just pry the case open.
