At least 14. I'd prefer 16.

2. One 16 holer and one 12 holer.

2, but 1 would be okay.

If you want to be all things to all people...

I think so.

I like to carry a few tuning tools, chromatic tuner, spare battery...
Delay pedal..

no opinion

As little as possible to get everything I need. What would I be willing
to spend? If it got much over $119.95 I'd probably gag. But then, I
gagged at the Blues Tool harp holder price, but bought it anyway...

> 9. How important is durability?

I'm gunna be careful with my harps and mics. Moderately durable is
probably fine. Extremely durable is probably overkill--though road
warriors will want a very tough box.

I've always got an eye out for the perfect case; or something I can
cobble together. I like to be able to take my harps in the car with me
in a case where they won't slide around, but I don't always want *all*
my stuff. But sometimes I do want everyting.

It would be super to have a detachable harp box that could be afixed to
the whole thing or used separately.
