Re: transport bag for accordion tip

Andy W put me onto cool bags. I've since got three, at about three quid each, from gas stations in the summer.

They're an exact fit for a one-row.

Re: Re: transport bag for accordion tip

BJ,

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?

I'd like to see a picture too. Can you show one on this site?

Re: Re: Re: Re: transport bag for accordion tip

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?
