Hello Everyone, I'm new to the list (and Hurdy Gurdy's) and have just purchased an Altarwind 'Donovan' HG.
I was looking for a hard case and found an inexpensive one at Walmart for $17.85. It's called a 'Deluxe Trunk Locker' and it is in the Automotive Department. So, if you live in the U.S. (do they have Walmart in Europe? ) it's a cheap alternative to the Pelican. However, it is not watertight and may not float for very long. I can send pictures if you contact me off-list Alan Preliasco Marlborough, MA USA > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: hg@hurdygurdy.com > Subject: RE: [HG] 1660 pelican flight case???? > Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:06:33 +0200 > > > > David > > The 1660 might be too big.
