Bongo Case

[DJBakan]

My best Bongo case was purchased from a Good Will Store for $7.oo ! It was an Eddie Bauer , travel case w/ many pockets and compartments, had a telescoping handle w/ roller blade wheels. I can fit my larger model bongos, my tripod base for a low profile stand ( I built my self ), has a compartment for spare heads & sheet music folders, travel items / shaving kit etc. a pocket for 2 or 3 hand bells, the opposite side pockets for timbale sticks, bvell beater sticks, too;s etc. I lay the ongos in face down onto padding so I putb an Afuche/Cabasa in on drum shell, put my misc. sound effects amd mini rawhide maracas in another shell. No one makes a multipurpose bongo case / rolling ~ multiple ues case like this ! I lay it on its side to serve as a bell holder and my Guiro slides in a pocket for quick easy acess. I always use it as a flight case since it is slightly smaller than the size limit for carry on.

I would like to see your case, could you upload some pictures?
Do you know the model number or any similar case?

thanks

jorge,
is that the one u were telling me about?
u got the deal on it?

[salcero1]

Yes but my amount per case went down to a price of $45 each for 3 and I didn't pay shipping that was free. I still have to obtain the trays but that's for another day and time when funds are available to me. Peace Jorge.

the Nomad case is great for the price, I paid $35.00 5 years ago from Musician friend http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend ... sku=543548 I sprayed it with clear lacquer inside and out to make it more water proof, it worked out very well for me.

Here's my case........don't have a name........recognize those JCR???...........cheers !!!!!

I have this same case, I bought it in 197? from Lp, I have been meaning to repair it for the last 10-12 years as the bell/stick compartment on the end fell apart.
Maybe I'll buy some fiberglass cloth and resin at Home Depot and do the repair.
That's a nice case because it's a "hinged" box, unlike a Nomad case that's held together by two straps and to my knowledge does not have a seperate area inside for the bell/stick/hand cream/band aids/tuning wrench/spare lugs etc.

Re: Oxford Fiber case company on green street in Manhattan, back when they were still there, they made three cases with wheels for my Congas,
I remember I was amazed how inexpensive it was in the early '80's.

But for international travel (airplanes/tour buses etc.), an Anvil case is necessary for me.
I bought an Anvil case at a NAMM convention in New Orleans in 1984-'85 on the last day of the convention... sold to me cheap because they didn't want to
drag it back with them. I sold it several years ago on Ebay.

It's hard to find a heavy duty road case for bongos. LP used to make a great one but they stopped making it years ago. The best thing I have found, that I trust to check through as a road case is a heavy duty metal no-name tool box I found. Some of the plastic tool boxes from Sears or Stanley 20-22" work for most, not all bongos. You need to line them with strong foam. A good custom case costs $$$, the commercial "Bass pedal - Bongo cases" are crap.

+1 to this, it's what I use too. But I get one of those cheap bongo cases from ebay to use as a liner, I posted it before.

This was a smart alternative to the drum store bags & cases that you can get similar gig bags from second hand store far cheaper any way. This case also disguises the fact that a musical instrument is inside.

I know there are unlimited options for a bongo case but I wish I had one of the original Lp hardshell case to go with my old school Lp's.


Ernesto,

I would love to see a photo of your $7.00 Eddie Bauer Case!


Anybody trying to get rid of their old School Lp hardshell bongo case? I like the 197?'s -like the ones pictured in a few post's... lol (I highly doubt it).
