This section includes cases/covers for cellos and bows. Measure your cello, set your budget, and evaluate how rigorous your usage is. We’ll happily explain factors you might not have considered..

Bam Ergonomic Backpack

For longer hikes when you want more of a harness than just shoulder straps. Keep in mind that when not being carried on the back, the case will be back-heavy and also not lay flat if that matters to you. Petite cellists to have more fit issues than taller ones, though I can’t give you the cut-off point.

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 with both shoulder straps. Available in 9 colors, they are usually made to order. The current wait time is about 5-6 months.

Bam Newtech with Wheels

NewTech with Wheels has broad, dense suspension pads supporting your cello under its strongest structural parts: neck and bottom blocks. Coupled with the ABS shell and injected foam core, it provides protection from vibration for safe wheeling — though common sense rules! Wheels are 8 1/4″ apart, and the wheeling handle is integrated into the back of the scroll compartment. As cellos can vary in contour and proportions — especially the corners at the C bouts — we will confirm that your cello is a good fit for this case. See some case studies in the gallery to get an idea of what will fit in this case. Shoulder straps are included, comfy neoprene with secure carabiners. Weight with wheels 12 lbs 11 oz.

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 cello or a cello with shoulders that don’t fit well in fixed suspension padding, contact me to discuss your cello in this case. These pads are more adjustable than you expect. In stock: Red, White
