I just received this custom Cumberland Leather harmonica case today. I have been looking for a nice portable harmonica pack that would be easily able to go everywhere with me when I don't necessarliy need my whole case. Well Jeffrey Spoor from Cumberland Cases came through for me today with a case which exceeded my expectations. Read the rest of the review...
Jim McBride, Bottle 'O Blues Mics from Buford, Georgia said, "I received my case today ....
I received my case today and I really love it. This thing is great! I have a bigger case I use for playing out, but I've always carried a Lee Oscar soft case around so I have harps with me all the time. That case is gone and yours will be with me from now on.The case is great looking and very high quality. You should definitely charge more for it. Thanks so much ... did I mention that I loved the case? I'll be sure to show it to all my harp playing friends. Thanks too for the initials on it - its a nice touch. And also for the single case and the business card holder. If I can ever do anything for you please let me know. Thanks again, Jim

Thank you for the rapid service and follow up. Your leather-smithing is top notch. Your attention to detail has not slipped my notice and I will recommend your cases to my customers and students.
Ray Kunst from Chicago, Illinois said, "Hello Jeffery, I want to ....
Hello Jeffery, I want to let you know that the cases arrived in perfect condition. I also want to add that they are of the highest quality I have ever seen..You do beautiful work. The blacked out lettering on the single case is a nice touch. Your attention to detail is amazing. It is an honor to own these cases, and I will definitely do more business with you in the future. I cannot wait to show my friends. You have a great weekend. I will talk to you soon, Ray.

Good timing, Jeffrey. It came today. Very nice craftsmanship, and one of the nicest I've ever seen. The single holder was a nice touch as well. It looks like it will last for years. As well, there were no additional surcharges or duty-added by Canadian Customs, which is a treat in itself. Thanks for the timely delivery and for the personal service. Peace!

Good news - I got the shipment yesterday late afternoon and every thing was in perfect order and of the highest standard. I am very satisfied - thanks a lot! Best regards.
John Pontious from Sacramento, California said, "I recently purchased a co....
I recently purchased a couple of your harp cases (a single slot case and a six slot gig case). My first impressions were how attractive they are! They're like jewelry for the harmonica player. When I slipped 6 harps into the gig case I realized they were not only well crafted, but functional. Harps don't bind when you're taking them out of the holster, yet fit snugly enough not to fall out. Bottom line- I love them! Thanks again for providing and exceptional product with excellent and timely service.
Kenneth Williams from Corinth, Mississippi said, "I got the package today a....
I got the package today and the stuff is fantastic! It's exquisite work. It's all very professional and, obviously, high quality work. The harps fit perfectly and they are very handy when I reach for one. I also love the KW initials on it. My wife was most impressed.

Jeffery, I got the cases and they're just great! I'm a very happy customer and will tell everyone I see about my case maker.

They are absolutely beautiful! The attention to detail, both in the design and construction, is wonderful. I'm really pleased with them. If xb-40s catch on, you've got the only game in town. Thanks very much.

I really love the case. A work of art really. As with all good leather I know it will get even better with time and use. An incredible value for the money.
Glenn Nishida from Honolulu, Hawaii said, "Aloha! I just received my....
Aloha! I just received my harp case and guitar strap, and I must say you need to charge twice the amount for your products! The workmanship is outstanding! I will definitely order more products from you again and tell all of my friends about you. Mhalo Nui Loa (thank you very much)

Howard Maron from Medina, WA said, "Thanks. It is great looki....
Thanks. It is great looking. As I looked through the labels I see an "FFL" and say to myself what the hell is a F flat low? Sure enough that is what I I told you to label it! Some times I think I am losing it. I have no idea what I may have meant.....perhaps a double low F. I'll try to find a Fb on my guitar!!!!!! Once again, it's perfect. I think you make one heck of a nice hand made product for a very reasonable price. Nice work.
Denny Noreikas from Centerville, OH said, "Your workmanship is aweso....
Your workmanship is awesome. The chromatic case holds my Hering Velvet Voice very nicely. I have a couple of Pullman leather cases for my diatonics and when I compared them to the Cumberland, yours were better stitched and smoother. I am very satisfied with the Cumberland cases and I promise to help spread the word.
Chris Fosbrook from United Kingdom said, "Hi Jeff, the cases arrive....
Hi Jeff, the cases arrived today, no thanks to the British Postal Service though as they more than took their time. A friend of mine, another harp player was here at the time when I opened the box and he was as impressed as I was with both the quality of the leather and workmanship, it's quite possible he may also become a customer. My wife likewise was suitably impressed. (When are you going to start making handbags?)
TJ Clancy said, "Jeff, Just wanted to take....
Jeff, Just wanted to take a minute to say I got my Harmonica wallet and it is possibly the highest quality music-related item I own. Thanks a lot!

Hi Jeffrey, My case arrived on Saturday. It's beautiful! I love it! Thanks for all the help and the wonderful craftsmanship!
Tom Martin from Hanover Township, PA said, "Received harp case. Thoug....
Received harp case. Though it took a little time it was well worth it.Truly a work of art! I already have had musicians asking me about it. I believe that it is a rarity in this time to have such workmanship for such a reasonable price. Bravo.
Christelle from France said, "Jeffrey - This morning th....
Jeffrey - This morning the postwoman came to deliver a USPS parcel. Frantically, I opened it and suddenly I discovered the result of your work. I said to myself in French clear and loud, "Génial! Il a tout compris, c'est super beau!" This mean "Oh my goodness the man has understood everything, this is gorgeous." I spent almost 10 minutes just staring at my new customized case.
It is rare that a man can understand the mix of sense of humor and femininity that I like, and you did exactly what I had in mind. I've shown it to my best female friend and she mistook it for a luxury handbag and she said that she'd like to have one. Same with a Spanish harp player...he's decided to contact you next month to orer one of your cases. I have to say that the finishing is PERFFECT, and the bonus July 07 gift (the single harp case) that came along with the 12 slot case is very nice and kind.
The case you made will follow me everywhere and it will get old along with me. Nevertheless, everyone has told you that the price of it is more than cheap. I say it again: extremely beautiful product, fast delivery, great listening skills, and sensibility. Jeffrey, I thank you so much. I'm so happy!
Kind regards,
Warren from Farmington, NH said, "I just received my 6-slot....
I just received my 6-slot flat case, NICE real nice. The craftsmanship is superb. This is one of those things that a person can hold on to and treasure thru out the years. Thanks for the single slot belt case, which is excellent too.
Steve from Seattle, WA said, "Jeff, You're a pleasure t....
Jeff, You're a pleasure to do business with. You responded to my email question on a Sunday evening, then when I followed-up with yet another question you called to make sure I got the information I needed. You handled my changed-order without complication. Thank you.
I just received the 7-slot diatonic case and it is excellent. The workmanship and materials are first-rate.
Michael W. Smith from Wantage, NJ said, "Jeff, The case came today....
Jeff, The case came today and I must say that I am quite impressed. Beautiful craftsmanship and it looks like it will last 100 years. What more can I say but THANK YOU! Warmest regards,
Jeff Bailey from Cumberland, IN said, "I've been a customer long....
I've been a customer long before Jeff started this venture and his products - and service - are top-notch. He is truly an Artist in leather. I look forward to many more years of business together ... and friendship. Thanks for everything!
"Hi Jeffrey, I have receiv....
Hi Jeffrey, I have received yesterday the harmonica belt you have sent to me an I absolutely want to thank you for the wonderful job you have done. I was confident that yours would do something nice but it is really far beyond what I was expecting.
This is absolutely perfect - the leather quality is exceptional, your job is really neat and with no
default at all, all my harps fit perfectly in the cases. What more can I say?
Christophe from Toulon, France said, "Be sure I will let the pe....
Be sure I will let the people know around me about your work.
I hope I will be able to send you customers from France.

I recieved the case you made for my Super 64 last week and what a beauty. The craftmanship is exquisite. Many thanks to you, and to Dennis "Doc" Alters, who was kind enough to order it as a gift. I'll be telling folks about you.
Andrew Crawford from Lake Forest, IL said, "I just wanted to say I lo....
I just wanted to say I love what you are doing here and I love my leather harmonica pouch! I will definitely be looking here in the future for a large case. Thanks again!
Remi Gunn from Toronto, Canada said, "I know there is no need f....
I know there is no need for a testimonial. Truth be told, there is not much I can write that has not already been written more than a few times over. That said, I have noticed that the two words that keep popping up in most of the testimonials are quality and craftsmanship. And that is exactly what has blown me away about the case and Pouches I received. There is a sturdiness, style and polish to the products that I truly was not expecting.
I mean, I knew they were going to be nice. Anyone who spends any amount of time browsing your website could figure that out. I just did not realize how nice they could be. There is not a rough edge to be found. I feel a little like a school kid with a shiny new toy to show off.
So I guess there is no reason to talk about the cases themselves. What I will talk about, then, is the service. The prompt replies, the questions asked and answered, really made the whole transaction enjoyable.
It is an odd world we live in. Thanks to the internet, it is one where small businesses can conduct business around the world. I have tested the virtual waters with more than a few businesses. I have had experiences both good and bad (thankfully more good than bad). This was the first time I have ever had a business contact me, unprompted, just to makes sure the package arrived. You take service like that and combine it with a wonderful product and you will make a fan out of anyone. You have certainly made one of me (in case you could not tell).
Thanks again,
Doug Hennessy from Toronto, Canada said, "Got in tonite at 10pm to ....
Got in tonite at 10pm to find a package to find a package of one of the finest crafted leather works made........ And certainly the finest leather item I own. Thanks so much. It is beautiful. I look forward to getting sweeter on the harp as the case gets softer. I love it. Hope I don't become another Cumberland Custom harp case addict. I also ordered 4 of the Bushman harps. I will let you know how I like them. Thanks for that referral. All the best.
Angela from Tallahassee, FL said, "I wanted to say thank you....
I wanted to say thank you so much for your ability to work within a time frame. Uncle Paul (he is actually our cousin) as we call him turned 100 on January 26, 2008. He has played the harmonica since he was about 12, 82 years of playing the harmonica. He wanted to give a concert at 100 yoa, and played several songs. It is obvious that he loves the harmonica as much as we loved hearing him play.
When I opened the package, I was not sure what to expect, but the fine attention to detail was amazing in the leather, stitching and engraving.
Thank you so much for being able to provide the perfect gift. He was really impressed with the cases and quite suprised. Instead of carrying his harmonicas in a plastic ziplock bag, he has something special made just for him and will be able to use them for years to come!
Steve Katz from Blood Sweat & Tears said, "Hi Jeff,

Hi Jeff,
I can't thank you enough for the great case the guys sprung on me onstage Friday night. I needed one so badly that I was about to steal Rob's. Of course I couldn't because we don't have the same initials, so now I have my own. I love it so much, I kicked my wife out of the bedroom and slept with it last night. All the best!

This case will last me a lifetime. I will tell my students and harp playing buddies about you for sure, and contact you soon for my 2nd order. Thank you for a job well done!
