I bought this from another dealer who had it on sale at 35% off. When it arrived I saw that the ply
board is thinner and cheaper than 2 other cases I have. Before I even had a gig one corner cracked a
couple of inches, which is something my other two cases (which look similar, but are actually heavy
duty) haven't done, even though I had them for several years.
Once I put props in the case
and carried it to gigs I'm sure it would have split even more. My girlfriend even said, "The sides
of that case are thinner and cheaper than your other cases."
My other pet peeve is that
they don't show you the holder in the back of the case before you buy ii. I wish they had, because
it's a VERY SMALL stiff velvet-like pouch--maybe 7 inches across and a height of 6 inches? You can't
fit much of anything in that little pouch! Why didn't they put a holder (like in most briefcases)
that runs all the way across the back?
I sent photos of the crack to the store and they did
allow me to get a refund (though shipping it back was a hassle--that's another story).
The
base is more of a thick plastic base and not the heavy metal base that I'm used it.
Not heavy duty at all!
