Title: Parlor case
Post by: JAD on May 04, 2009, 05:14:01 AM
Do those parlor cases at Elderly fit the Larrivee parlor reasonably well? Or, is there some way I could get a Larrivee parlor case besides asking the nearest distributor to include on in their next order (could be ages!). I'm in New Zealand and I'm finding it hard to find a case. I've got a truly horrid one right now, little better than a cardboard box.

Thanks!

Yes, not a bad case @ all. Originally, the parlors were sold w/o a case, just a gigbag. If you wanted a hard case, this was the one that was recommended (to me, anyway). So I bought one.
It's a good fit and TKL makes a respectable product. (I hate to think what the shipping cost would be to New Zealand.)

I also bought one of the TKL parlor cases from Elderly and it fit and looked just like a factory case.

If you are going to the trouble of getting one posted from the States have you considered getting someone locally to make you a custom case? I dont know what you've got available in NZ, is the any case manufacturers in NZ?

Failing that you could search the net for case suppliers in Australia, as postage would be considerably less than shipping from the US. Or you could contact one of the Larrivee dealers in Oz and see what a genuine Larrivee case would cost. Let me know if you need any assistance, I'll ask around a few shops I know of, one in particular that I frequent deals with a case manufacturer that does lovely cases.

Cheers, Scott.
