Your experience with Hoffee cases fit, etc
Hi folks,
Got European travel and gigs coming up and I've been looking into lightweight, airline-worthy cases and considering Hoffee's carbon fiber case.

Sue

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
