====== Case Ideas ====== My thanks to [[https://www.pinterest.co.uk/passamezzo/instrument-cases-15-17thc/]] For some of the below ideas or images ===== Hard Case ===== Engraved Italian portrait from 1510, //Suonatore di viola da mano//, of [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Filoteo_Achillini|Giovanni Filoteo Achillini]] (1466–1538). By Marcantonio Raimondi, after a lost original painting by Francesco Francia. So larger, but still, a good idea for a hard case. {{ chordophones:renaissance_guitar:achillini_estampe_d_apres_..._raimondi_marcantonio_btv1b69534380_1506.jpg?direct&600 | click to see the larger original image}} From [[https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b69534380?rk=21459;2]] -- image only https://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&version=1.2&query=dc.subject%20adj%20%22achillini%2C%20giovanni%20filoteo%20%281466-1538%29%22 -- info page ===== Soft Case? ===== ===== Net & Cloth ===== Currently for carrying the guitar while walking around I am wrapping it in a rectangle of wool and placing that in a shaped net bag I made out of hemp. This temporary solution is working well.
