What a clever idea, using the hinge! Such a perfectly simple and elegant design. Nice work, thanks for sharing!

I have been sitting on a suitcase for years, reverse the pedal and use your heel. It is ergonomically advantageous as well. your core is much better in-line..... The suitcase stays put unless you go away, saves dragging the seat around as well, plus a handy carry-all. Well, it suits me anyway...

Cardboard boxes sound a bit better. -- Duct tape 3-4 layers where the kick pedal strikes the box and also use layers on the bottom to have a place to secure the kick pedal. -- Pillows or foam can be used inside the box (and suitcases, too) to adjust the sound.

On the large, tweed case, the bottom sounds better because that structure is of wider panels which vibrate at lower frequencies. Now, please pack that thing up and sell it to me, I've been looking for a case like that for a long time!!!
