Dear Patrick, After attending Bruce Genck's class "50 Ways To Make More Money Now!", at the Dearborn Convention, I took a costly step of faith and purchased the Genck Professional toolcase No. 275 (available from Schaff). I was initially skeptical that this diminutive, though exquisitely crafted, case would meet my needs. After 5 months of use I can enthusiastically claim that this is the best case on the market for professional piano service people. The idea behind a smaller but highly organized kit, according to Genck, is that it is unnecessary and tiresome to lug a heavy toolkit into every customer's home when we only use a few basic tools for the average service appointment. For any spot repair we might encounter outside the scope of basic tuning or regulating, we would keep a secondary case together with appropriate parts/supplies in the car just a few steps outside the home. I was also concerned that the Genck case had no room for invoices & literature. As part of the professional image that I wish to present to my customers, I also took Bruce's advice and carry all of paperwork in a separate leather portfolio. For those of you with a SAT, there is a larger Genck case (No. 2663) with a special compartment for this device. Best of luck in your search, Regards, Stan Kroeker, RPT Kroeker & Sons Piano Experts 59 Quiring Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada R2G 1Y5
