    Hi, I am glad to help you with the perceptions of the space inside the OP-1 Case, if you look the inside of the case has the Instrument in the bottom half and ONLY the knobs in the top.
    Plenty of room for the USB cable and some earbuds, in a small cloth bag if you are worried about scratching the OP-1.
    Small rubber plugs would sort the holes in the end!

    Hi there, thanks for the note.
    The cost of $150 covers "ordinary" hardwoods such as Maple, Red and
    White Oak, Walnut etc, exotics would cost a little more but I can get
    most lumber that comes from a sustainable source.
    If you have a particular exotic in mind I can write you a quote after
    I have made enquiries to my suppliers and make you an OP-1 case to
    special order after I receive a firm order from yourself.
    Some exotics might take a while to deliver and the lead time from
    receiving the Lumber to the application of the last of 8-10 coats of
    hand rubbed finish is 3-4 weeks at the moment due to orders for this
    item.
    Thanks again and hope to hear from you again.
    Regards, Gareth.

    Hi, thanks for the ideas.
    I am looking into other hinges.
    Latches are a source of much debate...the way the case is shaped is
    good for it to stay shut without a latch but I can add a non magnetic
    one on request.
    Regards, Gareth.

    It`s possible to increase the size of the inside cavity to accommodate foam if you are prepared for the case to be bigger on the outside. Please ask for a quote if you need any modifications to the standard case and I will do my best to help you. Regards, Gareth.

    lookin forward to some photos of the wooden case. I would love one that has a small foot print and simply protects my op-1 while it jostles around in my bag.

    Any feed back on how you want your wooden OP-1 case to look would be welcome.
    The current design is for a close fit inside and a smooth rounded profile on the outside.
    Custom engraving of images and lettering on the outside is available
