The Bobelock cello case has been time tested by cellists for decades. And the brand continues to deliver on its quality and value. Which is why Bobelock has been a trusted name since 1901.
In this article, we'll explore the top reasons to get a Bobelock case is different from all the other chello cases.
Bobelock cello cases are made of fiberglass, which is one of the best materials used in protecting orchestral instruments. These incredible hardshell cases can take a beating!
There are a lot of brands that make fiberglass cello cases. But we can confidently say that Bobelock makes the best fiberglass cases. That's because they use real fiberglass shells.
How can we be so sure? Besides the decades of great reviews from fellow musicians? We can tell by the weight of the case. Fiberglass is not the lightest material. In fact, Bobelock fiberglass cases weigh about 15 lbs.
There are many brands with fiberglass cello cases under 10 lbs. However, to achieve that lightness, sacrifices have to be made. Unfortunately, it's the overall protection of the case that is being sacrificed (probably the last thing you want to give up when it comes to buying a case).
A real fiberglass cello case will weigh about 15 lbs.
The Bobelock cases also come with great suspension systems, so your instrument won't knock against the case if you accidentally drop it. The suspension system is designed to absorb the impact.
Durability is another reason why cellists get their money's worth with Bobelock's fiberglass cases. Bobelock cases will last you for decades.
And they've been around long enough to prove it! We always get a good laugh from brands that boast their durable cases that can last for decades (when the brand itself has only been around for a few years).
Bobelock cases come with sturdy hardware, such as locks and hinges. In fact, they import these small components from all over the world to their main facility in the Philippines. Meaning, they don't just use what's convenient or close to them. They actually source quality materials from around the world!
Bobelock's fiberglass shells are extremely water-resistant.They do not soak up water like fabrics or wooden cases do. So you don't have to worry about those rainy days. The seal between the shells is also air-tight.
Fiberglass is also much more temperature-resistant than carbon fiber (metallic) cello cases. Take note that fiberglass is used for surfboards too. And surfers probably don't want to be roasting on their surfboards under the sun!

What makes the Bobelock cello cases popular among students and professionals alike is the large selection of colors and patterns to choose from! One of the advantages of fiberglass cases.
They're also one of the only cello hard cases you'll find with different interior color options. You can also find some nice woven patterns, such as theCheetah interior and theZebra interior.
Bobelock cello cases are some of the most protective and durable cases you'll find under $500. Which is why many professionals choose these cases over more expensive cello cases.
In fact, Bobelock cases are as protective and durable as many $1000 cello cases. The only downside is weight. But if you're on a tighter budget, and you'll be wheeling the case around anyway (instead of carrying it on your back), then go with a Bobelock case.
Bobelock offers a range of options to fit your needs and budget. If you're a professional looking for incredible protection, temperature resistance, and luxurious interiors, there's a Bobelock cello case for you!
