hello. i recently acquired a DEAGAN 64 Imperial marimba (loving it!) and would like to see what if any options i have for cases for the bars. i'm not interested in a full set of cases for the frame/rail/resonators as i'm just gigging locally. but i would like a little more protection (and something a little classier)than carry them around in a wrapped up blanket.
thanks.

For DYI Bar cases

I made a bar case/protector out of Naugahyde from the local fabric store and some Velcro. Pretty straight sewing. A basic explanation is that I made it big enough to fold it in thirds over the bars and put velcro on the edges so it would stay closed. I roll it up and put it into a roller suitcase I got at goodwill. I can post some pics if anyone is interested. Even a cut down blanket, or get a large beach towel that fits the bars all the way around either may be good enough to fit into a suitcase.
I'll avoid any jokes about a firewood carrier, lumber truck etc.

It's open at both ends, but works fine for putting in a suitcase.
