Howard Core CC4500 Cello Case Final Thoughts Choosing the right cello case really depends on your personal preferences and budget. The most important aspects of a great cello case are weight, protection, and durability. With a higher budget, you can generally find a cello case with all 3. However, with tighter budgets, you may have to sacrifice one of these 3 aspects. This does mean you’ll be stuck with a lesser case though. If you’re often transporting your case in a car, then maybe you don’t need to worry about weight. Vice versa, if you live in the big city where you’re often on foot, a lightweight case may be more important to you than protection. Find a case based on your needs!
