You mentioned a lap top case.  Would that be similar to a soft sided =
breif case?  I could go that route too. I'm not looking for an expensive =
tool case ,but one that looks good and won't crush my grahm crackers =
when I 'm going to be out tuning for a while. lol  :)

   As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very =
helpful.

  I hate to think how much money I have thrown into tool cases over the =
years.  I think every time a new one came out I would grab it up =
thinking this had to be the best.  I had a Genck case that was very nice =
but the pockets ripped out and I now us it for my voicing stuff. Never =
was thrilled with it. I bought another expensive case from Jensen it was =
really nice, had plenty of room but to heavy. Finally, one day I =
discovered a laptop computer case and bought it for about 40 bucks.  It =
is the best case I have had.  It is light, it has an extra pocket on the =
outside that holds a 14 inch plastic box for misc. items such as protec, =
etc.and I use a tool roll. It is also the way I can tell which day it =
is. As the week goes on it gets heavier and in a little disarray by =
Friday I might need a tow truck but I can't blame the case for that and =
it still works great.

    I like the zip lock idea.  As for a tool case, I'm using a breif =
case now, and that's not very helpful.  I put some graham crackers in a =
zip lock bag for a snack, and they were crumbs by the time I got home =
yesterday. :)  The case is too cramped, and lowes doesn't have a decent =
tool case.=20

    I was tuning my friends piano a couple of weeks ago, and his cat =
decided kto walk on the key bed while I was tuning and wanted to bother =
my open brief case.  I played some  notes and made him move by pushing =
the keys up.:) =20

      Good advice, Debbie! =20

      When Mitsubishi first came to Bloomington/Normal, IL, I had a =
large number of Japanese customers.  I learned quickly that I was =
expected to stay for refreshments and conversation (broken English and =
lots of smiling and nodding).  Of course, everything was always good, =
though the strangest thing I sampled was a coffee gelatin.

      The time that really proved how fast I could tune was when the =
homeowner's black lab parked himself under the piano bench.  He went to =
sleep and, um.....broke wind.  How long can you hold your breath?   :-)  =
 Actually, I got up and talked to the owner, not saying anything about =
the <atmospheric conditions>, but suggested the dog find another place =
to snooze.  She got the dog to move--for a while.  Somehow he managed to =
find his way back to me. =20

          Ziplock bags - never tune without them!
