Southwest Stringed Instruments

Perfect. My children can now practice their stringed instruments at their desks or any table without having to set up a regular sized music stand. We love the fact that it is manufactured in the USA.

Action is very close to a stringed piano pedal. Holds the notes well. Great product and price

These are great in the field. I work in dry southwest Texas they are a must have.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

Great replacement lamp for all of our instruments.

Haven't used them yet , but am sure they will securely hold my instruments down .

What else can be said about the 57? Instruments, vocals, everything.

I am a wildlife biologist and use this lens as both a spotting scope and for wildlife photography. I live in the southwest, and find doing sharp long-shots with this lens very difficult at times due to heat waves - don't try taking pics of desert bighorn in August with it... Thus, trying to get closer to avoid distortion puts me within range for using my 300 f2.8, and the heat waves go away (at least a lot more). It is an awesome lens to use on days with cold, clear air - especially on wintering bald eagles or other sensitive species like that.

The southwest pattern looks awesome but doesn't shout hey there's an expensive camera in here. By moving the divider into a sort-of U shape you can get a camera body with an attached lens to snuggle in plus a few slender accessories (eg a slim flash) in the remaining space. The body+lens depth should be 6 or less for a good fit. The belt loop seems sturdy but I'm not sure this is a bag you'd want on a belt--it's weighty with a DSLR and bulky enough your arms would keep swinging into it. The shoulder strap is comfortable though, and adjustable enough to fit on either the near shoulder or over the neck on the opposite shoulder. I was confused at first how the rain cover fit, but the photo shows how it's supposed to work. The shoulder strap needs to be removed first. The cover then slides over the front of the case, and the shoulder strap is reattached through the slots in the cover. The rear of the case with the belt loop remains exposed. The top of the cover can be slid back to gain access to the zippers and the interior of the case. The rear of the case (and your pants leg) will likely get damp in a serious downpour. If southwest is your style, this is a great body-plus-lens plus a few small accessories carry bag.

Holds a ton of gear securely. Lots of configurable compartments Fits Southwest carry on without a problem
