Just got a case for my gourd from John Salicco. It turned out beautifully

Nice. Padded?

Not to speak of. Its solid wood with Victorian upholstery lining. It wouldfn't trust checking it, but its small enough to carry on a plane. I imagine he could make a padded one to order.

I agree about the LH end if it. HOwever, I did want a case to protect my investment, and this is a beautiful period piece. When I do bring the gourd with me, I won't be concerned with theneed to hide a modern case.

Looks good and should do the job of protecting your investment.

Yea, I just never found a good way to carry a gourd around. This solves it.
