Gig bags and cases - safe protection for your instrument 

Gig bags and cases are indispensable companions for musicians who want to transport their instrument safely and optimally protect it at the same time. From trumpets to tubas - choosing the right bag or case is crucial to avoid scratches, knocks or the effects of the weather.

Why a gig bag or case? 

A high-quality gig bag or sturdy case not only offers protection, but also makes transport easier. Many models have padded carrying straps, several compartments for accessories and water-repellent materials to protect your instrument in all weathers. They are also available in different sizes and materials - from lightweight nylon to robust ABS plastic.

Important features: 

- Protection and padding: Extra thick padding protects against bumps and scratches.
- Weatherproof: Water-repellent surfaces keep out moisture and rain.
- Carrying comfort: Adjustable carrying straps and ergonomic handles ensure comfortable transport.
- Additional compartments: Practical pockets for accessories.
- Various sizes: Available for all instrument types.

Tips for choosing the right model: 

When choosing between a gig bag and a hard case, it all depends on your needs. Gig bags are ideal for musicians who travel a lot and prefer a lighter means of transport. Hard-shell cases, on the other hand, offer maximum protection, especially for travelling by plane or for particularly sensitive instruments.

Our FAQs: 

1. What are the differences between gig bags and hard cases? 
Gig bags are soft, padded bags that are lighter and more flexible, while hard-shell cases offer maximum protection with solid materials.
2. Are gig bags also suitable for sensitive instruments? 
Yes, many gig bags have thick padding and waterproof materials that offer sufficient protection. For maximum protection, however, a hard-shell case is recommended.
3. What size do I need for my instrument? 
The size depends on the instrument. Make sure that the gig bag or case is tailored exactly to your instrument to ensure optimum protection.
4. Can I store accessories in the gig bag? 
Yes, most gig bags have separate compartments for accessories.
5. Which material is better - nylon or plastic? 
Nylon is lightweight, flexible and ideal for everyday use. Plastic cases offer more robust protection and are particularly recommended for travelling.
