Guide to Cello Bags

Cello Bag : What is it?

Cello bags are storage devices for cellos to protect them from dust, dirt, scratches, and impacts. They are designed according to the actual shape of the musical instrument to eliminate the extra space that can cause the cello to move and bump against the sides. Large but lightweight, they are made with back straps aside from the traditional handles for easy and convenient carrying over the back.

Types of Cello Bags

Kinds of Cello Bags include the following:

Hard cello bags

Hard cello bags have a hardshell construction made of solid materials such as wood, solid leather, or thermoplastic.
They are designed according to the actual shape of the cello.
They have padded interiors for added protection.
They are usually waterproof and weather-resistant.
They have several interior and exterior pockets for storing other accessories.
They are made with back straps aside from the traditional handles for carrying over the back.

Soft cello bags

Soft cello bags are made of soft yet sturdy materials such as leather, nylon, and PVC.
They are foldable, lightweight, and easy to carry; however, they do not have the same protection provided by hard cello bags.
They usually have bow case compartments and several pockets for storing essential items.
They are usually padded with high-density foam for added protection.
They are made with back straps aside from the traditional handles for carrying over the back.

Choosing Cello Bags (Buying tips)

Weight: For easy carrying, choose a lightweight cello bag since the instrument itself is heavy enough as it is.

Padding: Choose a cello bag with a padded foam interior to protect your instrument from jostling and impacts.
