Tonareli Cello Gig Bag

Beautiful cello case.

I bought this cello case for times when I need to practice somewhere within walking distance, or take it on public transport. For those purposes, it’s great! Light, snug fitting, with moderate protection. But I found it a bit awkward when I needed to keep my cello in it for any period of time. If I laid it down on its side, it was prone to tipping over toward the bridge - not ideal, given the moderate protection. Standing it up required a suitable corner - which I don’t really have, something I wasn’t aware of till my cello couldn’t stand on its own. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with it, but will still mainly use my hard case.

Case is as protective as a soft case can be. I like having space for 2 bows, so I can keep my spare with me. The back straps easily hook together so they don’t drag when carrying with handles, but must be unhooked before carrying on one’s back. Unfortunately there is no external pouch for carrying music, rosin, rock stop. Overall, I am happy with the case.
