This looks quite good. Any idea how it stands up in strength to the
(much more expensive) Pelican cases mentioned on the list recently? It
looks like it could be comparable in strength and even if it wasn't it
could be reinforced fairly easily.
I checked and the dimensions for the case are 1" bigger than the
allowable dimensions for the airlines. My guess is that one could risk
it with something like this since in a busy check-in situation an
agent is unlikely to whip out the tape measure and check something
that looks reaosnable.

Hi Arle,
I found a really incredible "roller" trunk from THE CONTAINER STORE
which is perfect for my H.G. -- you will need to see if the
measurements will work for your instrument (it's 32 inches x 18 x
13). Remember that you can position the H.G. diagonally inside:
http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?searchId=15310524&itemIndex=8&CATID=250&PRODID=62806
The good news is that it's only $29.99! It also has roller wheels
and it's REALLY, REALLY TOUGH -- I have used my roller case to ship
an H.G. across the county, and it arrived without ANY problem or
damage whatsoever.
For the money this is the best "Hurdy Gurdy shipping case" I have
ever seen, and would not hesitate to recommend it to you or anyone
else.
Signed,
Michael Laird
