Bam HighTech L’Etoile

This case is part of the HighTech series, so it’s light-weight and very protective with its ABS shell, Airex foam core, and suspension pads that are broad and dense. It has the same dimensions as the Slim model, but the leather front makes it a little heavier — 9 lbs 14 oz with both shoulder straps. Available in 9 colors, they are usually made to order.

Bam Newtech with Wheels

The New Tech is an extremely strong case made with an ABS shell and injected foam core. Broad, thick dense suspension pads support the neck and bottom blocks — the strongest structural parts of the cello — for superior protection from vibration and impact. The wheeling handle is integrated into the back of the scroll compartment. Be aware cellos vary in contour and proportions, so we always confirm dimensions before shipping. An in-shop visit is the best way to evaluate any case. Shoulder straps are included, with comfy neoprene with secure carabiners. Weight with wheels 12 lbs 11 oz.

Bow case – Artino

Artino’s bow case by Otto Musica is sized for a single cello bow, and will accommodate Arcus and Musing bows which are a bit longer at 74 cm. Made of aluminum, with padded lining, a soft fabric sleeve, and detachable shoulder strap. End caps have been secured differently than earlier models. We have transported over 200 grams of endpins in these cases on occasion, so they can safely transport your cello bow. Colors: blue, red and brown.

Fiedler bow holder with tip pocket

Fiedler makes a bow holder with a magnetic closure, sticky-back foam block, bow tip pocket, and mounting screws (though users we talked to just used hot glue). If you wish to add a third bow in the lid that will parallel the fingerboard, this should have the space you need. Keeping in mind case makers do not all use the same materials nor have the same dimensions or shell thicknesses, results may vary. If you are unhappy with your current velcro/snap/zip holders, you can replace them with the Fiedler.

Gewa Pure with Wheels

Please read the entry for Gewa Pure polycarbonate case to see more images and details. The only differences between the two cases are addition of wheels and a wheeling handle making it slightly heavier at ~ 10.5 lbs. Interior features, construct and shell are identical to the case without wheels. If you have a short-pattern or 7/8ths cello, or a cello with shoulders that don’t fit well in fixed suspension padding, contact me to discuss your cello in this case. In stock: Black

Mirage Polycarb Wide (wheels)

Otto Musica’s Mirage model 518W weighs 10.5 pounds, has a very strong shell, wheels, and a generous interior to fit some cellos with bouts or corners too wide for other cases in this price range. There are 4 thick and 4 thin removable pads that run on a velcro track to adjust fit for a variety of cellos. The tongue-in-groove seal closes with 6 latches. The side and shoulder handles are roomy which is important for some cold-weather glove-wearing cellists. See the photo gallery to see how your cello’s dimensions compare with this cello which is a very good fit for this case, when it did not fit in a variety of others here. BLACK in stock.

Vivo Hybrid case with wheels

Hybrid cello case with wheels weighs 10.2 pounds; shoulder straps add .8 lb. Shell is textured, and is shown in Silver and Champagne. There are 7 overcam latches, none lock. Neck strap is velcro, scroll loop has an adustable clasp, and bow holders have zip closures. An accessory pocket is in the lid opposite the scroll. The upper suspension pad supports the neck block, and is on a velcro track so if your cello is long or short, you can adjust the pad. The lower pads are fixed, suspend under the bottom block, and curve up the lower sides so there are no additional pads required. Pictured is a 7/8ths cello with dimensions provided, and you can see the fit is fine with no C peg issue. The largest cello we fit had Back length 763, UB 365 and LB 460 but the widest part is toward the bottom of the cello, so curvature matters. Two shoulder straps attach to 2 D-rings on the upper back, connecting to D ring at the each lower bout. In stock: Silver, Blue, Black, Red

This is a densely-padded nylon bag with a water repellent polyurethane coating. The interior is velvet over foam padding for some thermal as well as shock protection.

The usual accessory pockets for rosin/rockstop and sheet music are present, and the bow pocket is rigidized and includes two padded sleeves. The zipper does not stop at the C peg, but wraps around the top of the scroll to the A peg, so the bag can open flat. Weight 6.5 pounds. If cello length exceeds 48″ (122 mm), endpin may protrude a bit – depends on fitting and tip. We have fit celloswith lower bouts 18.25″ (460 mm) In stock: Red and Caramel

Shamrock is part of the HighTech series, and an excellent choice for a ~ 10 lb, protective case with wheels!

The interior is generous 37cm UB, 45cm LB, body length 80cm, total length 125cm but fit issues may occur at the center bouts and the C peg due to the tapering of the case. Weight with wheels and exterior pull handle is ~ 10 lbs. Pair of neoprene, very comfy shoulder straps included.

Gewa Air

While Gewa Air fits many 4/4 cellos, it has adjustable features that make it ideal for short-pattern cellos like Guadagnini or 7/8ths cellos. The shell is constructed of two strong thermoplastic layers with injected foam bonded to interior suspension lining. This design makes it tortionally strong, more puncture resistant, and affords thermal protection. The interior features an adjustable sling to customize fit. It also may fit some extra-long cellos because of the flexible configuration of pads in the shoulder/neck region. Guideline dimensions are 14.5″ UB, 18″ LB, total length 51.5″ but fit requires more details so contact us. Five latches, one with an integrated combination lock. Leather handles. Weight ~9 lbs Grey in stock. Other colors will be available eventually …
