Those look similar to these.... but unfortunately you have to eat the candy first!

I use a plastic 35mm film container.

I use the larger m+ms minis tubes with the bar in the bottom and the picks on top.

I have been doing this for several years now, and the picks never get crushed. Tho' I am careful not to store the tube upside down.

I have several different colored tubes, one in each of my steel guitar cases, and I know by the color what sized bar is in it.

After several months of heavy use, the cap "hinge" finally gives out, so I have had to replace the ones I use the most.

Perhaps the containers Michael is offering will last longer...

Preform 2 liter bottles make a great bar & pick case. This is what I suspect Tribone ships in. I found them here with a display rack:

5.5" long, 1" wide, I can fit a 3/4" bar and my picks snugly, and the tubes are totally durable.

Hi Hugh,

A friend of mine figured out the source of the Tribotone bar cases some time ago. He had seen a whole bin of the preform bottles for sale somewhere.

It is a good idea to grind a flat spot on the lip so your bar case doesn't roll off when placed on a flat surface.

The perfect case for lap-steel bar and picks.

Best,

Bob
