Bam HighTech L’Etoile
$3,561.00
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 Hightech Compact
HIGHTECH COMPACT weighs 10 lbs 4 oz, fits most cellos up to 14.25″ UB, 17.5″LB. The widest part of a cello does not always fall at the widest part of the case as contours vary. A strong 3-ply ABS shell over an Airex foam core provides superior thermal and impact protection. Unlike the Slim 2.9, this has more depth, providing greater buffer zone between the cello and the outside world. No worries with the angle of the neck causing the scroll to touch the back of the case. The interior has broad, dense foam suspension pads under the neck and bottom blocks — the strongest structural parts of the cello — and has the standard interior 2 holders, string pocket, shoulder straps.

Bam High Tech Slim
Bam HighTech Slim is sculpted closely to the contours of the cello, providing a compact ultralight cello case. Protection is excellent with a thermal and shock-resistant Airex core beneath its strong ABS shell. Weight is 8 lbs 6 oz. Dense, broad foam cushions suspend the cello at its bottom and neck blocks. The buffer zone between cello and outside world is reduced, so take your specific usage into consideration before buying. Standard 2 bow holders, a string pocket, shoulder straps, etc. The neck and scroll strap fasten with a clasp. UB 14.25″, LB 17.5″ It is also advised to check the cello laying down to see whether the neck/scroll angle is too extreme to fit without resting on the scroll compartment.

Gewa Pure
Gewa Pure weighs ~ 10 pounds. It has a rigid polycarb shell, 6 spring-loaded latches and 1 combination lock latch. It has a side handle, shoulder handle, and two shoulder straps. Neck strap fastens with clasp, and there is no scroll loop. The two bow holders have magnetic closures. The interior is generous and there are 8 pads that can be placed along a velcro track (or removed) to achieve a custom fit. Works well for 7/8ths cellos as well as 4/4. Lay your cello in the case with all non-fixed pads removed so you can check corners and clearances. Add pads where needed to prevent lateral and vertical movement. See pics of our “case studies.” Know your total length, back length, upper and lower bouts for starters. Colors: Black, Gray, Red, White. None are in stock until probably July. Delivery issues.

Fiedler bow holder for case interior
We are in the process of adding these magnetic bow holders to the offerings here at Cellos2Go. If you are unhappy with your current holder, and the tip pocket is fine, you can replace whatever velcro or snaps you have holding the frog. Most case accessories are hot-glued in, so removing them just requires heat to melt the glue for removal. If you are interested in adding an additional bow holder in the lid that will parallel the fingerboard, this should have the clearance you need — but you will need an additional tip pocket. Keeping in mind case makers do not all use the same materials nor have the same clearances or shell thicknesses, results may vary. When we get them in and get some first-hand experience, we’ll add details. (ESG 4/30/24)
We have positive remarks from cellists who have installed and used them for a few years. So while they’re new to us, they have been in use for a while. Most bow holders are hot glued in, so removing your current .
