| Case Details | This case surprised me. Usually Philadelphia cases are fairly heavy duty, this one is thin and doesn't seem to be of top quality. It also has some areas of deep corrosion. They appear as black spots. A little buffing on the wheel will get rid of them. Bow is floppy and no matter how much it's tightened, it will always be floppy. Maybe if I can find a thicker bow. |
