I need a custom made leather traveling trunk for the 914.

Like on this 356 below but i need very specific dimensions:
48 x 24 x 6

Anyone know of anyone who can make such a thing?

Andy,

The size is very long so I think what you would need is a Smooth Brown Hardboard Wall Panel material and then have it made into a case. You can buy hinges and latches and leather handle. This would be somewhat like an oversize briefcase. Radius corners are harder to do but could be done. It could be upholstered in any material. Leather would be nice but not as waterproof as fake leather. Not ready for tomorrow but if you want , it can be built by a woodwork shop if you do not have a friend up there to help. If down in Inglewood I can help you with it. This would be like an Instrument case. Have you Cked guitar case size

I have an email into Anvil (Covina, CA) to see if they still make custom music cases.

If they do, that might be the way to go ...

Ah - contact Jim Turner at Encore/A&S Cases - https://encorecases.com - 818.768.8803

See what they can do. They do custom hard cases for me for broadcast gear.
Not sure about a leather exterior but if not, they do all sorts of custom colors but I bet they can do leather.
