I currently use a soft bag with Oskar cases grouped together in 7's so
I'd either like smaller more modular groups of 7 or so I could throw into
a soft bag or 30 like Madcat wants.

> 2. How many chromatics/big harps should it hold?
I play SBS's so I'd like room for them and perhaps one 16 holer and a
couple of Super Chromonicas

That's what milkcrates are for

> 4. Should it accomodate other types of mikes?
see above

> 5. Should it hold mike cables?
see item 3

> 6. Should it accomodate other things?
a tuner perhaps or see item 3

High tech or tweed I'd buy one if it was well made. A light coloured
interior would be nice for those dark bars. Tweed might be nice but it
doesn't age that nicely.

> 8. What should the cost be?
For a well built configurable or custom orderable case I'd spend $100
without blinking. So far there's nothing on the market even close.

> 9. How important is durability?
Durability is second only to functionality and even then the case could
be wonderful but worthless if it fell apart in 6 months. Something along
the line of an Anvil case might be in order. I'd still like to see
smaller units for a soft bag.
