Helicon Gig Bags?

Post by Heliconer »

Does anybody know where someone could get a gig bag for a Helicon? Are the any companies that will custom make one?

Thanks!

is also referenced in an earlier thread.

I don't know how either gig bag works (this or Altieri) as i've no direct experience, but this is something i too may want to sort out for myself as well.

But in searching the forum, i came across an elephantine rant about cases and gig bags in general which i found worth the read.

Lemme know how your quest goes! And if i find something more useful, i'll chime in here again with it.
Thanks for playing!

The German ones are very good in my opinion. Not loads of padding, but enough. Shoulder straps positioned well.
