Not mine. I have 1 Hohner case and several homemade ones, and I never
store my harps in their plastic coffins. For me, it's just way too hard
to quickly pull the key I want. Okay, so I do jam with the stereo in my
car... The Hohner case is just the thing for that. The harps sit in
their foam slots and don't fly around as I fly around corners. I know
right where each key lives, and can easily switch for different songs.
I use a VHS VCR Cassette case for my Huang Silvertones. I get 9 or 10
harps in one nice compact package that way. Other homemade cases that
work okay are a modified CD carrying case (no slots though, so the harps
slide around in the car) and a handgun case. The handgun case cost only
$5.00 and comes with foam padding. The shape isn't ideal however.

Re MS harps on the youthful side of the pond--yes for Blues Harp, Cross
Harp, Big River (of course), Pro Harp, and Meisterklasse. I have not
seen MS for Marine Band or Special 20. Doubt they could do the Golden
Melody.
