Sounds like a sensible plan, Debbie. Part of my problem is that the kit
weighs 14 lbs <b><big>before</big></b> I load in the tools! As I'm
getting longer in the tooth, I may have to downsize.<br>
<br>
I do have several different cases in the car for the more infrequent
repair procedures (but nothing as extensive as Isaac Sadigursky). I
like keeping the glues and lubes separate from other tools and supplies
in a small cooler (except one small white glue bottle goes in the main
kit). Strings and stringing tools are in a tool box, repining and many
of my regulating tools in a tackle box. Vacuum and cleaning implements
are in a large tool box. A couple of two-sided fishing boxes carry
small parts, another tool box is for a drill motor, drills and various
repair tools, and a large plastic container stores Cory products for
sale and caster cups. <br>
<br>
Filling the interstices between the cases are a piano-lifting crowbar
(for installing the caster cups), a key-leveling straightedge, and
whatever didn't fit in the above. A moving blanket covers all the cases
and provides a bed for transporting actions.<br>
<br>
Always in search of a better tool case...<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Okay, minus the 5lb. laptop, we're
still not close! I carry all I need for tuning and regulating. The
repair stuff stays behind in the truck unless I know about the type of
repair ahead of time. Even so, it still travels in a different
container (kit). I have a "stick um and slick um" kit, a various and
sundry small parts kit, string kit, and a (doesn't always travel with
me) player piano kit.</font></div>

Debbie,<br>
<br>
My kit weighs in the neighborhood of 50 lbs and I don't see it losing
weight soon. My case caries my 5 lb laptop and all tuning and
frequently used voicing, regulating and repairing tools. I'm reluctant
to make a trip out to the car to get a commonly used regulating tool,
for example. <br>
