I have an OLD Hohner leather diatonic harp case. It has a snap and a belt
loop, and kind of reminds me of a knife case, except the belt loop is
riveted at one end and actualy "hangs" the harp from it. Seeing as I
don't wear a belt (and the harp case would get snagged anyway), I keep it
in my shirt pocket. Works great, and keeps pocket-stuff out of the reeds
:-) I don't know if Hohner still makes 'em (I haven't seen them in
years), but for shirt-pocketing a harp, it'd be doggone hard to beat. It
also doesn't slip out of my pocket nearly as easily as all other cases
I've tried.
