Cases

A quality case—whether a sturdy hardshell or a lightweight gig bag—is essential for keeping your instrument safe at home or on the road. We’ve carefully selected the top cases in every category to ensure your instrument is protected in style, wherever your music takes you.

Which Case Is right for me?

All of the instuments that we sell will come with a case of some type - either a hardshell or softshell 'gig bag' depending on what the manufacturer uses. As with most things, your use case is really what can help determine which case is best for you. Here's a quick primer.

Hardshell Cases

A hardshell case provides the most protection either when storing or traveling with your instrument - but - the downside is that they can be heavy and a little cumbersome to navigate.

If you are flying with your instrument and looking to check it, a Calton Case is essential as it is designed for this purpose (other 'standard' hardshell cases are not). The hardshell case that came with your instrument is more than adequate for most storage / light travel purpose.

Softshell Cases / Gig Bags

Softshell cases (frequently referred to as gig bags), on the other hand, are ideal for players who travel frequently with their instruments - to gigs, jams, lessons, or a friend's house to play.

A quality gig bag from Mono Cases offers a great mix of the protection of a hardshell case with the ease of a gig bag.
