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 Newtech w/o wheels

    Bam’s NewTech is a strong case, having a 3-ply ABS shell with internal foam core which adds shock and thermal protection.  Broad, dense foam pads support the cello under the neck block and bottom block, which structurally are the strongest parts.   If you have rigorous travel in your future, definitely consider this case if the dimensions and contours fit your specific cello, and there are adequate clearances.  See all case specs in the photo gallery.  Latch issues may be avoided by fastening the side latch under the handle first.  If this closes easily, the lid and back are aligned and all other latches should easily engage.    BLACK, BLUE, MINT

    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:  Blue, Red, and not pictures yet Champagne and Teal Blue.  Teal is a new color, and also features a neck clasp instead of Velcro strap.

  • Vivo Carbon Fiber infused case

    Vivo Carbon Fiber infused case

    A new carbon fiber case from Vivo weighs 6.6 pounds. There are 7 latches, none locking.  There’s a scroll loop, and the neck strap closes with a clasp.  The interior provides a broad pad at the top of the back, which runs on a Velcro track.   This allows a custom fit to your cello’s length.  The bottom suspension pad curves up the sides of the lower bouts, keeping it from shifting laterally.  The interior is generous and fits a Dimbath Ruggieri cello.  This model may not accommodate the 7/8 and 4/4 Guadagnini unless you add booster padding at the bottom.   We tried  models of both, and the body length coupled with the distance from the top rib to the C peg was too short to accommodate some C pegs.  The Vivo Hybrid modes fits those cellos, just not their Carbon model.  Comfortable handles are placed at the side and shoulder, and two shoulder straps are included.  D-rings positioned closer to the neck of the case, and a single D-ring a few inches lower on the back give you options for strap attachment.  That means whether you are short or tall, you should be able to get the case to ride comfortably on your back.   No wheels on this model.  In stock in burgundy.

  • Gewa Air

    Gewa Air

    We have 1 Gray/black Air case on sale for $1275.    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
