Serious Case of Genckflop

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Avery,
Its sort of like shoes, one size does not all feet fit.
I use a large camers bag with tool rolls of different fabric and textures. Along with the inevitable loose stuff and small pencil bags ( all my Hex things ) and nylon cases to keep things sort of organized. Soft. light. and padded for my SAT, and can be used with a sholder belt.

  Why can't a pianotech that KNOWS what tools we use design a case where it would actually work????? I'm still looking for one. Even though I HAVE retired! I don['t want to have to modify "something" to MAKE it work! I guess I'm just lazy. :-)

    I cut a full-sized 'cover' out of thin MDF that fits over the tray area of the case. This effectively contains the tools in the compartments. This is my second Genck case (the other was his laptop case) and both inexplicably came with a 2/3 sized pallet. After much experimenting with various tool locations, as well as employing a tool roll for all of my slimmer regulating-type tools I am reasonably satisfied with it.

      The catalog pics show lots of tools neatly held in place on upper and lower compartments and on the pallet.

      I find that the vinyl loops aren't quite big enough for many tools, that I can't fit all that many into the available slots, that some of the slots are virtually useless because of their size and location, and most annoying—I can't seem to open or close the case without everything inside tumbling out—especially the stuff in the lower compartment trays. 

      Anybody made any clever mods to this thing to make it work better? I still like the look and size of it.
