[pianotech] Tool Cases

[William Monroe]

Yeah, I know.  I'm almost resigned to just that.  I just really want it
integral.  An exernal luggage cart, no matter how small is a pain.  I tried
a small (read weak and insubstantial) cart once.  Didn't like it.  It was
just another piece of equipment which inevitably the case had to be removed
from.  So now I've got two pieces of equipment in the home - might as well
just carry two kits in.  ;-]

Bottom line is, I have plenty of tool cases from which to choose.  I have
one now that is small to mid-sized and it's fine.  I just want perfect and
thought I'd put it to the list to see if anyone has or has seen my perfect
case.  I'll keep looking..............
