LOL How about a Step and 2 semitones.
I agree Scott, from what Scotty said the old style KKP9 case was better in that the handle was 'extended about 6" - (retractable too)- giving more freedom of movement for not only the hand but for the legs when transporting it. I guess inovation is not all it's cracked up to be, huh. Two steps forward and 1 step back scenario. Or maybe 1 step forward and 2 steps back depending on how you look at it.

I suppose until something better comes along we'll have to put up with it I guess. Unless you've got a brainstorm up your sleeve Scott.
Best regards,
Mike
