(Out of stock)

Back in 2008 I was privileged to make a bunch of tote bags for the Wisconsin Chapter of Music Therapy.  They were selling them for a fundraising.  Using one of my sister, Kathy Schumacher’s, favorite tote bag designs and adding a great embroidered pocket designed by her dear friend and mentor, Christine Henes.

Tote bag measures 12″W x 15″H x 7″L and is made out of durable nylon packcloth, lined with poly/cotton.   The handle design allows them to fall out of the way for easy access to your items.  Inside a 7×8″ pocket hangs with a nifty key loop.  Includes outer pocket with “Music Therapy Makes a Difference” embroidered on it.

Originally we had a Music Therapist request a soft carrying case for her guitar and since she is a professor at a local college, she wanted it to be wearable on her back.  We are happy to have helped with the solution!

This music therapist gig bag is made out of 1000 denier fabric with 1/4″ foam.  The guitar bag features a handle on the side and also shoulder straps, backpack design, for easy carrying. It also features a pocket to carry the strap, picks, or other small items in.  This case fits the guitar shape and offers great protection.

These bags are handmade in Missouri.

Make sure to check out our pick pocket that can be used on the strap to carry your guitar picks in.

This tote bag can hold a full octave (or 8 Boomwhackers®).  The bag has a gusseted fabric bottom, a cord lock to keep the bag securely closed, shoulder strap, and features a mesh upper so that your instruments are visible. The outer zippered pocket is large enough to easily hold a set of Octovator Tube Caps, keys, wallet or business cards.  9″ x 29″ with an adjustable shoulder strap.  The pocket measures 6.5″ x 8″ x 2″. It is machine washable. ***Instruments not included.

Michelle Erfurt, the creator of the Boom Tote says, “I happen to have a standard set of Boomwhackers® but had a hard time carrying them around. So, I made the Boom Tote. I guess the saying “Necessity is the mother of invention” is true!   Thank you so much for checking out the Boom Tote. I know it will help you carry around your instruments.”

Are you tired of losing guitar picks? Here is a great way to keep them in place. The guitar pick pocket holds up to twenty guitar picks in a gusseted pocket with a velcro flap. It folds like a wallet and attaches to any 2 1/4″ strap. Open dimensions are 6″ wide by 3″ high. The pocket measures 2 inches x 2 inches.

Made out of durable 1000 denier nylon, this will be sure to last you many years.

Use it to keep your guitar picks organized or turn it into a functional fine motor task by giving clients the responsibility for opening the pocket and choosing their guitar pick.

This tone chime was thought of and designed with the traveling music therapist and music educator in mind. It is made of quality nylon backpack cloth (which is durable and water resistant) as the outer shell, with soft twill for the lining.  The roll up case holds nine tone chime instruments (or other instruments of your choice) and rolls up for convenient storage. We have improved the tie system with a draw cord and cord lock to make this case even more user friendly.  Colors will vary with available stock.

This is a safe and convenient way to carry a few chimes when you need them.

When fully opened it measures 27″ high x 28″ wide and each pocket is 3″ wide. Fold the top half over the tone chimes, roll it up and close with our drawcord and  cord-lock closure.  It has also been known to carry mallets, drum sticks, woodcarving tools, and knives!

The award winning musical instrument anyone can play now has a case that’s soft, durable, light and easy to carry! Our USA manufactured QChord gig bag is the perfect and easiest way to carry the Suzuki QChord instrument wherever you need to go. It’s made right here in America by Bear Paw Creek with 90% American made materials. What more could anyone ask for?

This bag was originally designed to carry the Omnichord instrument and has been updated to carry the QChord instrument. For those that still have an Omnichord, it can still carry one securely. It was the request of my sister, a traveling music therapist, to make her life a little easier!

The QChord soft carrying gig bag features durable, water resistant 1000 denier cordura  backed with 1/4″ foam. It includes an adjustable shoulder strap, handle,  and a newly revised outer pocket. The improved pocket has a zippered gusseted pocket that fits your adapters and song cartridges.

In 2014, we replaced the toothed zipper with a coiled zipper in answer to zipper issues customers were having.  We are always improving our products and listen to the customers’ feedback! In the last couple of years, we have also been informed that the QChord case also fits the Omnicord perfectly.

The dimensions are approximately 23″ long x 13-1/2″ wide at widest point.

Peg Board Puzzle Bag ~ $8

These clear zipper bags were designed to hold a standard child’s peg board puzzle.  You can fit one or two in easily. We have also used these for packing coloring books and crayons.

14″ wide by 11″ tall. This bag solves the problem of organizing puzzles. Easy for the kids to use and hopefully minimizes lost pieces!

Zippered Pouch ~ $7.50

5″ wide x 7″ tall zippered pouch made out of durable pack cloth, featuring a  1″ plastic clip. This pouch can be clipped on a belt buckle, a bag, stroller, or just about anywhere.

These pouches were originally created for the kids to have their own first aid kit. We filled it with bandages, alcohol prep pads, ointment, lavender for bug bites, a small bottle of sunscreen, and small sewing kit.

They like it when they are able to help take care of friends or siblings when a “ouchie” happens.

It’s one of those zipper bags that can meet a variety of needs.
