Re: Northfield Artist #30
I know many people had been asking about the Airloom Case Cover recently. While I've been very happy with it's fit and finish, I wanted to have backpack straps as an option. Attached, please find pics of some customization I did on the cover to add backpack strap connections. It was very easy, can be done by anyone with a basic knowledge of sewing and a modern machine in about 15-20 minutes. I used 1.5" polypro webbing and a black metal D-ring.
The materials to make the conversion cost me about $6, and a set of aftermarket backpack straps from pro-tec instrument cases were $15. This allows me to have a backpack when I want it, and remove the straps when I don't. It's simple, sleek, and light.
To make it comfortable, I cut down the feet on the case-bottom by half, and added another layer of fleece-backed thinsulate on one face (inside). It carries very easily and is super comfortable; I'm travelling today and will test it in the airport and on the plane.
Hope you enjoy the photos. Feel free to PM with questions.
