NOTE TO ARTISTS/CRAFTERS FROM HOFF
I am always looking for additional artists/crafters to create new harmonica cases for me.
Since my collection has grown to over 500 cases, I am very careful to seek only unique designs that complement my existing collection.
If you would like to be considered for a commission to produce a case for me, feel free to contact me directly.
For those who I commission to make cases, I provide some general design guidelines - see below for these guidelines.
How to Design a Harmonica Case for Hoff
Rule #1 - There is NO rush
Design discussions with Hoff are welcome by email or phone
-
Standard size harmonica (e.g. Hohner Bluesband)
-
4 & 1/8 inches in length – 1 & 1/8 inches wide - 3/4 inches thick (note: this is the size of harmonica that will fit into the case)
-
Snug fit for harmonica inside the case (minimum wiggle room)
-
Access to harmonica from case, so it can be easily removed and played
-
To be worn like necklace - 28 inch neck "strap" from top of case on one side to top of case on other side - or adjustable size strap
-
Cover – needs some way to protect harmonica from falling out
-
Name - placed on back of case – HOFF (all capital letters preferred)
