The ultimate in strength-to-weight ratio shells utilizing the latest military and space technologies (5-10 times stronger than plywood or carbon fiber cases of similar weight.)

Regardless of other 'claims' these are, by far, the strongest, most protective cases in the world.

The standard (large) music pocket is located on the bottom of the case for greater stability and a more “dignified” appearance on top.

Even the “standard” case has “everything” most musicians have always dreamed of.

Because every case is hand made, custom interior layouts are possible (including instruments with “unique” sizes and shapes).

Use your imagination...
