Questions & Answers
It doesn't have a music pocket on the inside. My cello-playing wife and daughters usually place the music on top of the bridge and behind the fingerboard of the instrument, or if there is a lot of it, they will carry it in a separate bag...
It's 54" tall, 21" wide, and 13" deep from the outside, and it's made for a 4/4 cello. br>I hope this information is useful! My son is very fond of it.
It's for my daughter, and I got it for her. It's the one with the ridges and no straps, as far as I can tell. It appeals to her.
I have no idea. My son's cello was in a case that he could use to transport it across the country to his home.
Selected User Reviews For Bobelock 2000W Fiberglass Black/Wine 4/4 Cello Case with Wheels
It was both attractive and durable.
An excellent case at a great price.
The interior is very nice, and the structure is sound. I've only had it for a couple of months, but I'm already in love with it.
While the case is light and easy to roll, and the inside appears to protect the cello well, closing it is difficult, and it takes some effort to get it lined up properly so that the buckles can be fastened.
Case is well-made and sturdy.
I had no intention of spending so much money on a case, but I'm glad I did! br>The cello that my son plays is in great shape. In this instance, you are protected! Rubber- The rain is kept out by the seal. He tows it to school on a trailer behind his bike, so it's essential.
GOOD.
I'm a beginner cellist, and my cello is a nicer student model, but not an antique from the 18th century. I'm getting ready to travel across the country. I needed something more substantial than my padded nylon bag because I was moving across the country. I needed a hard case with a suspension system (translation: I needed a hard case with a suspension system). It shouldn't cost as much as the cello itself (it's padded so jostles aren't transmitted directly to the instrument), but I was willing to spend a few hundred dollars to get the right thing. I didn't care about the weight, but I did want something practical. I'm not a picky shopper in general, but I spent hours researching cello cases by accident, so I thought I'd share why I chose the Bobelock 2000W. br>br>In terms of quality and durability, Bam and Tuff-It appear to be the best options. The gold standard in terms of lighting is Lite. They're also quite costly, costing well over a thousand dollars. That is beyond my capabilities. br>br>I'd like to tell you a lot about the other models I looked into, but the main issue was that I couldn't find much information about them. There were only a few bullet points, tiny photos, no reviews, and websites that appeared to be abandoned. I didn't want to take any chances with a purchase this large and important (and one that I couldn't inspect in person). Because I couldn't tell if a case was good or not, I had to weed out a lot of potential good cases. I found a few reviews, but they were all over the place and not very detailed. "The best case I've ever seen!" " or "Fails to hold together when touched! Worst thing since disease!" "br>br>However, I will inform you of this model. I was concerned that my lower bout, which lasted a little more than 17 minutes, would result in a heart attack. I was told that if you're closer to 17-1/2" than 1/8" would be a problem, but it fits just fine. You should choose the larger model if you're 1/2". The case has five latches up the left side, one on top, and two on the right side, as well as two hinges, ensuring a good seal. The hardware appears to be durable, but not indestructible. I wouldn't leave it in the hands of an airline baggage handler, but I'm not afraid of breaking it myself if I use it carelessly. The wheels have a good amount of weight to them. Thick, heavy, and with strong axles, they resemble roller blade wheels in appearance. Rubber standoff feet are located on the bottom, side, and back of the unit, allowing it to be placed in a variety of positions. They're about 1/2" thick, so even if you set it down on an uneven surface, it shouldn't scratch the shell. The side handle, as well as the two neck handles, are sturdy, thick, soft, and comfortable to hold. The new season has arrived. The loaded folding rolling handle behind the scroll is made of plastic and isn't as nice as it could be, but it's still functional. br>br>The most common complaint I heard about this case was that it was closed. When the case is open, the shell is a little shaky (though perfectly solid when closed), so it takes a little wiggling to get everything to line up properly, but not an excessive amount. Close, line up, and latch all the doors in 20 seconds? My schedule may be more flexible than others', but I haven't found it to be a time drain. If you try to close it while it's upright, it might be a little more difficult, but don't do it. When it comes to upright stability, I've seen some comments on other cases. I find the Bobelock to be quite stable (in fact, mine is standing up right now), though I wouldn't leave it unattended if you're out in public, on a subway, or anywhere with a lot of foot traffic, but I would say that about any cello case. br>br>The interior is plush, with plenty of padding in strategic locations. It has velcro loops in the lid to hold two bows. In the lid, near the scroll, there is also a small pouch. It's probably big enough for rosin and a small tuner, but the closure isn't very secure, and I wouldn't recommend overloading it because it will clog the scroll. To be safe, I'm going to leave it empty for my move. br>br>Overall, I believe it is a well-written piece. case that is well-made and durable Nothing appears to have been scrimped on. However, it is not indestructible; the seal will not be waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, and the finish will not be made of adamantium. If you use it as an excuse to be careless, you will be disappointed and a good case (and cello) will be ruined. However, if you're reasonable, this will be an excellent case. P. br>br>P. br>br>P. br>br>P. If you're also planning on purchasing a moving case, I recommend keeping the shipping box. The cello is in its case, which is then placed in a shipping box. Pro tip.
