I'm in the market for a hardcase for my tenor Eleuke.
I've looked around. Couldn't find anything appropriate. So I may have to tap into my trade background and bite the bullet. Meaning DIY project. So I'm thinking a square hardcase made out of plywood. Possibly 2 layers. For covering the bugger I'm thinking black leather. Or perhaps tweed for a more vintage look. Black leather being my first choice. So it's time to browse the hardware catalog for parts.
In my head I've pretty much have the build figured out. The challenging bit would be the covering. Internal and external. I'm a wood and metalworker, not at all to familiar with cloth and leather..
So I might end up sub contracting the lining work off.. But more than likely I'll end up doing it myself..
