I've recently adopted a set of Flemish bagpipes, and am looking to source a protective hard case for them before I start taking them out on gigs.

I'm looking at, and they would snugly fit in, the Glenluce bagpipe case

But I'm wondering what other options there might be? Other dedicated purpose-built cases, or more home-made / repurposing options all welcome.

If it makes a difference, I'm in England.

Thanks all

Depends of course on the dimensions of your set - the Flemish bagpipes that I make fit exactly in one of these cases: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500pc-Texas-H ... SwXfBZgx9m
Sell the poker chips and decks without case, and you have a very inexpensive case...

Thanks - that's just the sort of slightly left-field thought I was after, things that can be repurposed.

Often enough, a case with something in it is cheaper than an empty case...

I'd highly recommend Gama cases (Brittany). Proprietor is Bernard Loffet, a very helpful guy.

We've been buying smallpipes cases from them for years, and they have many different sizes on the website:
