Check this out. This is LP's hard case with wheels.

http://www.lpmusic.com/Product....se.html

They are pretty good but some people complaint they are too bulky to carry around gigs locally. (You need a lot of space to put those babys in a trunk and if you have three....uuuh)!

Great for travel in airplanes and when you have "valets" or band boys...you know there are a lot of horror stories about baggage handlers and band boys with instruments.

Do not know if Enduro or any other companies make some but probably they do something equal to what LP does or close to it or an equivalent. Be ready to pay since normally they cost close to $200 each case.

Saludos!

Hi There,

Yes - Humes & Berg and XL Protector both make conga cases. I think they might both be rotomold cases - the cases structure is formed as a one piece mold cases on a rotating drum.....makes for a very strong and robust case.

Different moldels are available from http://www.wwandbw.com (have do international shipping) starting from about USD$120 per case.

Hope that helps,

Hello.

Check this site.

I have hardcases for quinto, conga, tumba, bongos & timbales. My LP's fit in just fine. They have been really good.

If you're on a tight budget, go to a Wal-Mart or other discount store and get some of those big plastic tubs w/lids and wrap the drums in blankets andthere you are. Not real pretty, but does the job. I use the LP Gio' padded bags, but I move all my own stuff. The guys in the band don't even ast to help anymore as they know how I am. :D
