 Re: AFFORDABLE reed cases

I know they've become "art deco" pieces, and prices are ghastly.

I found a 24-reed case, leather covered (!) 'second' through Miller Marketing; some of the latches were a little wonky but the craftsmanship is great. I use this for all my 'beginning stage' reed storage. I paid about $18 for it, don't know if they have any more but you could check...
Also have a 10-reed case, synthetic leather, from the local music store, bought it a few years ago for around $20. Probably runs $35 or higher by now.

Sometimes I'll take an Altoids or Sucrets metal box and install pieces of foam atop a pad of fabric-covered cotton; not as fancy but certainly works.

I've also seen 'kits' for making your own from the metal boxes.
Keep looking, and you'll find something. Courage -- and persistant shopping!
