Got any good ideas for pick and bar storage?
In the past I've used film canisters for picks and a leather bag for my bar. I prefer an oval film canister to the round one as it is less likely to roll off a surface and get lost. I usually loose the cover though.
Does anyone have a source for these?
Hmmm....what would be the ideal pick/bar container? |

| Ahh, questions of the ages... Well someone gave me a nice leather pouch that holds picks and allen wrenches nicely. I slip my bar into a drawstring pouch before including it in the leather pouch and all is hunky dory. The trick is a place to get a place to set your bar where you can pick it up quickly when you're ready to play again. |

do a google search on cigar cases - you can get a leather (kind of) cigar case for about 20 bucks - cut it to fit your bars and there you go.

| An old eyeglasses case will hold a few bars and a bunch of picks. I use a hard plastic one that latches shut. |

Picks and tuning wrench go in a prescription bottle.
Bars go in a piece of 2Lb. Unifoam (left over from making Dagorhir weapons) wedged in among the strings in the sidekick of my seat.
Once set up, the bottle gets poured out between the necks and the bars rest between 5&6 in the closed keyhead of the Zum.
On the MSA, the bars join the picks

This is what I did recently. I got tired of having to grab so many things out of the pakaseat that I attached a zippered pouch I got from the craft section at WalMart that most use to hold pencils and such. I sewed the bag in half to create a pouch that holds extra strings and wire cutters. The other pouch holds my bar.
To hold the bag on the side of my pakaseat, I attached velcro fasteners I found in the tape section of WalMart.

Mark,
I will ship to UK and a few other countries.
I have no control over shipping costs, duties or tariffs, so at times it is expensive.
We are working at getting our new items up on our website today. Have western boot 'stockings' and many new stocking stuffers in time for Christmas.

A tube of M&M candies. Very sturdy.
7/8 bar fits perfectly.
Plenty of extra room for pics and such.
The top is part of the package.
It'll do!
