Gewa Air Cello Case Backpack

The Gewa Air case protects the cello well, but was very uncomfortable for my daughter to carry (shoulder and neck aches). So we purchased the backpack attachment. The attachment lifts the cello up higher, and away from the body (so the scroll no longer knocks against the back of her head). She can now carry the cello all day from class to class. However: the fastenings are velcro only; I can’t believe that will last well. And it is such an expensive piece; should have been made to last. Remind me to send an update, on durability over time.

This Gewa backpack is great because it's makes carrying the Gewa case more comfortable. If you attach the straps that were included with the cello case, then the cello case will sit lower on your back. I'm 5'2" and need the case to be higher up and this backpack does the job because it raises the cello up higher on your back. It is comfortable and not bulky. Also it seems to weigh less than the the Gewa straps that came with the case reducing overall weight. I also noticed that it reduces the noise of walking with the case because of the back pad and also with the straps because instead of metal clips, the backpack uses velcro and adjustable plastic clips on the straps. It helps me carry my Gewa case more comfortably and I love it!

No metal hardware is a plus. Less clacking noise while walking.
