Orchestral Strings Cases & Gig Bags
Your string performance will depend greatly on the condition of the instrument you're playing. For this reason, you need to keep it stored in a case or gig bag in between your concerts and rehearsals. It doesn't matter if it's your violin travelling in the overhead compartment, your cello stored under the tour bus or your viola waiting to be picked up and played in the music room - every musical instrument deserves to be treated with care and respect. Thankfully, any one of these orchestral strings cases and gig bags will keep your instrument safe and secure when it's not in use.
Before you choose a case, gig bag or cover, the first thing you should consider is the level of protection you need. A hard-shell case or cover makes sense for musicians that travel frequently by air and are often separated from their instrument for the duration of their journey. In fact, the Bam Flight Cover was designed specifically for touring cellists. This cover features a strong elastomer ABS outside shell that's outfitted with up to 2" of ribbed, high-density polyurethane foam. Bam also has a variety of durable, travel-ready cases for other orchestral strings, including the Hightech Contoured Violin Case, the 2003XL Hightech Overhead Violin Case and the 2201XL Hightech Large Adjustable Viola Case.
If portability ranks high on your list of priorities, a gig bag will work best for you. Offering great grab-and-go versatility, a gig bag is typically made of soft, flexible material and has lots of pockets for all your gear. Check out something like the Mooradian Standard Double Bass Bag. This rugged gig bag has all-around 1" foam padding to keep your bass protected in between jam sessions. From its padded handles to its convenient shoulder strap, this bag was made with your comfort in mind.
And this is just a sampling of what's available in this extensive selection of cases and gig bags. With so many fantastic options here for your orchestral strings, you should have no problem finding a case, cover or gig bag that perfectly suits your personal needs and preferences.
