For smaller 'cellos we have a smaller curvy shape case and for oversize 'cellos we have a bigger curvy shape case.

​

Our Curvy Shape ‘Cello Case is lighter weight than our Original ‘Cello Case for equivalent specification.  Its smoother and less bulky shape makes it easier to handle
   
We make very lightweight 'cello cases which, in our curvy shape case, can be as lightweight as 2.8kg / 6.2 lb.  We are happiest, however, with the cases weighing around 3.3kg / 7.2 lb upwards because for only a small increase in the weight they are more durable and more protective. The 3.3kg / 7.2 lb and the 4.2kg / 9.2 lb cases are the choice of many professional orchestra 'cellists, quartet 'cellists and soloists.

 

As with our Original ‘Cello Case the 'cello is supported evenly inside our Curvy Shape 'Cello Case by 22 individually sized foam pads which are covered in soft felt. Many players ask us to custom fit the padding for their particular instrument. Sometimes there is more than one 'cello to consider and then a compromise fit is arranged.

 

Please see our ‘cello sizes diagram for the measurements which we like to check before we make your case, click here... 

For very deep 'cellos we have a range of special deep lids to give more clearance front-to-back.

For tall 'cellos or for 'cellos with large end-pin units we can add an end-pin well at the base of the case which gives extra clearance above the scroll and below the end-pin.

​

Our 'Cello Cases are fitted with superior bridle quality leather handles which are individually hand sewn.  They are comfortable and extremely durable.  They are also easy to replace eventually if necessary.  All cases have a string pocket and two bow-holders. We can fit additional bow-holders if requested. We can also add a sheet music retaining elastic in the back of the case.

​

The maximum external dimensions of our Small ‘Cello Case are (h) 1.35m / 4ft 5inch x (w- across hips) 0.52 / 1ft 9inch x (d – bridge to back) 0.32m / 1ft 1inch.

​

Extras:
 

Other options include replaceable fibreglass or carbon buffers for the top edge of the case and the bottom corner edges and over the bridge area, these places where cases get most knocks.  We can provide a strong shoulder carry strap or a choice of backpack straps (including the Fiedler system).  Most components on the cases are replaceable; we can send studs, handles and replacement pads for new 'cellos anywhere in the world.

​

Colours
Most 'cellists ask us to make their cases in white or just off-white finish.  We can make the cases in many other colours on request. White cases reflect direct sunlight so that 'cellos are less likely to get hot inside the cases when exposed to direct sunlight in very hot weather.

​

Soft outer covers
We supply two types of soft outer cover for our both our Original ‘Cello Case and our Small ‘Cello Case. Our Blobby Cover provides an extra 5cm / 2 inch of protection and our Slimline Cover provides an additional 2cm / 0.75inch of protection.
