For most musicians, it becomes necessary to travel with the instruments they play. When musicians have to travel often enough, they need the most effective means of transporting their instruments from one place to the next. Most musical instruments are an inconvenience to carry by hand, and they can be fragile pieces of equipment. With such fragility, they require cases that offer them the protection they need to avoid being damaged while they are tossed around during transit. With a custom musical case, you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that you have the most reliable protection available for your delicate instruments. To use your custom musical case optimally, keep these tips in mind.
Challenges
Musicians have to go through many challenges when they travel with their instruments. All instruments have different shapes and sizes, which is why a custom musical case is needed to accommodate for the instrument’s exact dimensions. While these cases can make instruments easier to carry, the awkward shape of some instruments can still make some cases harder to carry. For this reason, you may want to add handles and/or wheels to your case to make it easier to transport.
Carry On
This is important to know if you are flying with your custom musical case. It may still be safer to keep the instrument out of your case during flight. Instead, keep it in the overhead compartment of the plane if you have a small enough instrument. This will keep your instrument as safe as possible during travel.
Flying with instruments takes a lot of planning if you’re going to maximize its safety. Getting in the early boarding group is preferred because you have the best chance of having overhead space available to you. Sometimes, for larger instruments, you may have to purchase an extra plane ticket for the sake of providing a seat for your instrument. This might look like a steep investment, but it’s better than having to replace your instrument later.
Why Use a Custom Musical Case?
A custom musical case provides you with the most reliable protection you can find. You can get them made from durable yet lightweight, materials like aluminum so they are sturdy and easy to carry. They can even be fitted with foam inserts for additional protection if you deemed it necessary.
