Soft Case Finished for Tina and Piobs (Pix enclosed)
This soft case was built by Mooradian Gig Bags. I 've used a guitar bag from them for 14 yrs. and figured they'd be up to the challenge of building something diff. They did such a super job of it. I'd reckon they'd make a piob case for considerably less (I paid $195 for this) as there was much new that had to be done

Give a man a wooden reed and he'll play in the driest of weather,
Teach a man to make a wooden reed,
and the both of ye will go insane!

Nice, Kynch. Did you help them design it?
As for the pooch - he's giving you those "You're not really going to throw away my bed, are you?" look... of course you can't toss it! Look at those eyes!
And I really like the idea of the back-pack straps. That bad boy is MADE for travel!
David- that appears to be the top of the bass reg, it's been removed and no doubt the wooden end is a 'plug' to protect it.
Am I correct, Kynch? I know that Andreas Rogge has a similar system for removal & storage of the bass reg.

Nice case there Kynch!
The bass reg end cap is in a double back style and caqn be clearly seen. I am guessing that it is part of the dismantled bass drone...the slide perhaps? That, or it is another different instrument all together...or perhaps it was left by aliens from outer space......Whoooops....time for more medication.....gotta go....bye bye.....

Ok..what that is from left to right;
that's the small wooden stock leaving the bag. there's the brass fitting which then becomes a radiator hose which then has the garden hose connector which goes to the bellows. That is something I'll never do with out after many gigs of ..bellow interuptous!.
I reckon I should get a leather covering, but i'm so feckin lazy when it comes to that sorta thing (no comments fromt he D'arcy gallery!). I did help design the bag but it was all Peter Hoffman's idea to do the tina roll. I thoguht he was going to go with something similar to what was in the hardcase i.e.a compartment w/the walls made of very hard foam, but he said that would be impossible. I know some blokes are afraid about the soft case thing, but I'm more afraid of a hard case getting the "Sir...you're not getting on this plane until you CHECK YOUR INSTRUMENT CASE." Now before one of yous starts pointing us readers to the FAA mandate saying musicians can bring on ...blablablabal it IS their porogative ultimatley whether or not to let you and you're stuff onbaord. Finally, the tina is really more fragile than the piobs. I know of someone who threw someone's name brand chanter like a tomohawk at the wall. No damage! Try that with a concertina!!! Even when my sh*t was in a hard case, while traveling through the airport, I'd still baby it. Plus the lighter load is much welcome for those long LAX or MIA hikes from the plane to the claim. Cheers!

Hey Kynch.... have you any bigger images? I'm finding it hard to make out the finer details of the rubber texture on the blow pipe

I visited Kynch and his wife one eve in their home in Miami while on business in 2004. Immediately on taking the pipes out, the pooch went straight to my case, plopped down in it , and looked at me with that same look in the photo as if to say....I'm gonna lay down here...uh huh....I like the pretty case...you've got the nice pipes and now I've got the nice case...yep....uh huh...woof. Really nice dog...even if the whiskers are crooked.
