lead lined

No offense, but no one in their right mind would manufacture a lead lined case--for many reasons. First off, most people want their cases light and therefore they are made from aluminum. Next, lead is accutely toxic and prolonged exposure to the lead lining would not be good for you. Third, if you want to travel via air with it, don't you think that a lead lining would raise a bunch of security flags being that it deters X-rays? You'd probably be taken into custody for it and have your equipment confiscated.

Personally, I'd like to know why you would want such a case. It's a very soft metal and is heavy, so maybe to reduce vibration and add weight in the minimal mount of space? You can do this with high density foam and solid hardwood. It will be much cheaper too. lead is not cheap! You may be able to go to a major hardware store and purchase lead sheets, but I would doubt that very many stores at all would have an item like that.

Yeh it was a joke. Lead lined as in the real coffins - that dead bodies go in. Rich people spend loads of money on them as they stop worms etc getting at them.
