English Horn Reed Case

thingiverse

This is a reed case for 12 English Horn reeds, ideal for musicians who need an efficient storage solution at a fraction of the cost of traditional wooden cases. To create it, print two copies of the provided part and connect them with hinges that can be found in most American hardware stores. The closure system relies on two magnets inserted into holes formed in the parts, providing a secure yet simple mechanism to keep the reeds in place. The neoprene ribbon used to hold the reeds adds an extra layer of convenience and protection. For customization enthusiasts, the top surface can be embossed with a name or initials, giving the case a personalized touch. As the designer continues to refine their skills, they are working on re-scaling this design for oboe reeds as well. Reed ribbon is available from Miller Marketing Co., while hinges and magnets can be sourced from National Hardware and Amazon respectively. This project marks the creator's first submission to Thingiverse, and feedback is highly appreciated as they navigate the platform.
