Archer Lightweight Cello Case 3/4 size by Gear4music

Please be aware this is a full size 4/4 case. With inserts to fit smaller sized cellos.If you want a really snug fitting case then please don't pick this caseFirst case one wheel fell off so sent back but. Gear4music was very good at sorting a replacement and customer servises have been excellent

This case is huge outside (larger than my 4/4 semi hard case) because it has lots of protection inside. Bonus for me is that it will hold full size bows. Very pleased with this purchase.

Uhm... not sure. We ordered this (and got it VERY promptly from Gear4music) but returned it after 3 days! Looking at the positives first. Everything you need is there, a solid case, straps and handles, quite a few pockets, two bow holders, both inside the case. It's not too heavy either. However ... it's massive. The problem is mostly its height: 142cm tall, for the 3/4 instrument. This seems to be down to poor design more than anything else: the bottom part has a really high amount of padding, the top part looks unnecessary wide and big. Also, the finish is not particularly high quality. The external cover is mostly screwed to the internal padding, but the screws (in the case we had) looked quite short and some of them did not stick to the padding. The hygrometer seems totally unnecessary.

Great for the money and gives good protection. The music people at the school were very surprised how good it was and the price. That said the wheels seem a bit rigid so I would take care with them. Also I am a bit worried about the handles so I don't want to pull too hard. However, it seems to be holding up reasonably well.

Although this is bulky, it is very light. I think it's good value for a hard cover.
