Perfect for keeping flat picks or other small items separated from your loose change. Works great in an instrument case, too. This is a nice little cherry wood box with the Elderly Instruments Logo lasered into the slide top.

A tiny Hohner 4-hole harp in C (it really plays!) embellished with a few beads (color may vary) where it attaches to a leather neck-cord. James Brown asked what is hip? This is hip.
