Cases & Bags
An instrument on the road
Of ccourse, the best moments of a musician are when you are allowed to do what you have invested all your effort and time for: playing live! Transporting the instrument and the rest of the equipment safely is also a concern. No matter the time of day or the weather conditions, whether in a car, by train, on a bus, or high up in a plane - arriving safely is important for both musicians and their equipment. The simple bag or the more elaborate case are two options that have been around as long as instruments like the electric guitar, bass, or keyboard. From the vintage-style tweed case for a '54 Stratocaster to the modern lightweight gig bag made from high-tech materials for almost any instrument, the world of safe transport options today is as diverse as its often-precious contents.
An expert´s job
An easy fabric guitar bag with a handle and an additional pocket for cables or sheet music has certainly been one of the best-selling accessories for ages. Often, especially with high-end instruments, a gig bag or case is already included in the purchase. However, the question of safe transportation is usually more individual. While the cheap bag may be sufficient for the beginner who drives or is driven to his or her weekly guitar lessons, the dedicated and experienced musician will surely have different requirements. They and their equipment are quite on the move: to rehearsals, photo shoots, or gigs. And the method of transportation is always different: first in the trunk, then comfortably in the hand or on the back. It gets cold, then warm or hot, and sometimes it also gets wet. And all of this happens again and again. Under all circumstances, the beloved equipment should be safe and dry, and handling it should be as comfortable for the musician as possible. Because most of the time, they are also responsible for their own equipment, and they don't want to exhaust themselves before and after the gig, but rather when it counts, during the live performance! Cases and gig bags are true experts which have to juggle many things.
Soft or hard – safety matters
The classic of safe transport is the instrument case. Hard on the outside, and thus equipped to withstand rough shocks, it is softly padded inside, making it equally robust and gentle. The flight case, even more robust and maximally stable, comes with the highest level of protection. Even in the toughest tour life, when loading and unloading is done quickly and efficiently, the valuable content remains maximally protected.
For the traveling musician, the gig bag has established itself as a popular option. These high-tech bags withstand the weather, everyday challenges, and, when well-padded, even a drop. They are available in different qualities for different demands and for a wide range of instruments. Electric guitars, acoustic guitars, basses, ukuleles, keyboards, drums, cymbals, accessories, and much more can b^^e conveniently packed and transported while being well-protected, without generating too much additional weight or high costs. Unlike the instrument case, the gig bag can be carried over the shoulder or, thanks to comfortable straps, worn like a backpack.
