[pianotech] Tool Cases

Hello, whomever you are.......;-]

I've actually started considering the possibility.  One of the links sent (I
think David I) had a company that sold parts, like the handle and wheels.  I
think the biggest trick is that when the handle or wheels are not integrated
into the construction, they can get in the way.  For example, there is no
interior mount for the handle, so it would have to mount on the outside
(interfering with opening one side of the case), or you'd have to come up
with some way to mount it on the inside, which may interfere with
pallets/pockets/whatever.  Wheels would probably be a bit simpler - maybe
just some in-line skate wheels on an external axle of some sort.

My biggest fear with this approach would be a case that has a flimsy handle
or flimsy wheels, or ends up basically being an underpowered luggage cart.
But..............it may be tried anyway.
