Here in Europe it's difficult to find the Igloo coolers, and orther suitable (fish bait)bags to transport our cajun accordions safely.
After a long search I found the DJ's record bags (made for the 33 rpm viny LP records).
Mine (UDG) is very well padded (= insulation) and with a small alteration I can use it whith the stops out! I think they will even be accepted in the cabin of a plane.
Because they are flexible enough, the accordin will fit in well, but not too tight to make it a clumsy affair to put it in and out. So no accordions standing unprotected on stage anymore, mr. Brave Johnny Ace
do they have a hard shell or a kind of framework?
Are you satisdfied with it?
I think your solution is much cheaper than mine and I still need a bag for my other accordion.
do you have a picture of it? And are you satisfied with it?
I saw a Igloo brand cooler (fish bait) bag imported from LA, but I never saw it here at the fuel stations.
If you have a picture of it, please show me?

They are soft bags, zipped around the top where they open, and constructed of a nylon sort of material, covering about a quarter inch thick insulation.
I find them perfectly adequate, but always make sure they go on top, when stacked in a vehicle with other gear. I have one hard case, but haven't used it for a while. These bags have shoulder straps so I can carry two accordions, and, very often, a string instrument like banjo, or mandolin, all on one shoulder, with maybe a guitar and amp in my hands. Awkward for a long hike, but cuts down trips from the truck into the venue.
If someone can tell me how to post pictures, I will try it. Or maybe Andy W, who knows how these things work, will post pics of his bag. How about it Andy?
