Yes, I was watching TV. A return of an animal show that we all watched as kids only because Walt Disney was on after it. Jim was wrestling with a giant anaconda while Marlin watched from a helicopter. I was wrestling with a decision on this Old-Time Herald's instrument topic. Then it hit me - insurance.

Cases are quite expensive these days. Most hard shell cases sell for between $90 and $175. They are made to take abuse so your instrument doesn't have to.
