I recently purchased some new-to-me instruments, an alto and tenor Renaissance shawm, made by John Hanchet<\/a>.\u00a0 That leads to a need for a new instrument case, as what I’ve been carrying isn’t deep enough for the 5″ bell on the tenor.<\/p>\n

I spent much too long looking at various options and cases from Pelican<\/a>, SKB<\/a>, Gator<\/a>, and several other manufacturers.\u00a0 I’ve got a Pelican case for my hurdy-gurdy, and I like it a lot. The Gator web site has the best search-by-size option available, by far. SKB cases come highly recommended by other musicians and photographers.\u00a0 The choice was tough…<\/p>\n

The biggest two considerations were enough depth to hold the instrument bells safely, but not too large a case to fit in the back of the car.\u00a0 ATA certification is a strong bonus characteristic, so I can fly with instruments in the cargo hold and not worry about them too much.<\/p>\n

I looked at rifle cases, shotgun cases, double bow and bow and rifle cases, keyboard cases, trombone cases, and some general purpose military shipping cases.<\/p>\n

What I ended up ordering is a case made as a 61 note keyboard case by SKB<\/a>. I expect to have to do some interior customization to hold my instruments, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem for me.\u00a0 This case is a few inches shorter than my old instrument gun case, a couple inches wider, and the inch and a half deeper I need to hold the new instruments.\u00a0 And it has wheels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
