Description

Protection:

Our gig bags have soft foam interiors and a shell of your choice of Top Grain Leather or Cordura nylon. We use only medical grade foam which resists flattening, cracking, and crumbling over time. Our bags provide an inch of foam protection to your contrabassoon in every direction. This foam cushion is encased in one of our top-quality exteriors: Top Grain Leather or genuine Cordura Nylon (the same material used in luggage and motorcycle jackets).

Durability:

We have a legacy of durability going back to Glenn’s first cases in the 1970s. With decades of user-feedback to draw from, we are constantly innovating our design to ensure that cases are built to last and truly stand the test of time as investment pieces. We use the best materials in every step of production to ensure that your Contrabassoon Gig Bag will last for years. The #10 YKK zippers we use do not crimp or unthread. We only sew with T138 thread which is resistant to weakening from wear and UV exposure. Our brass-plated steel hardware is among the strongest on the market.

Capacity:

The Contrabassoon Gig Bag holds one contrabassoon (or double bassoon). The 51″ Amati ABN36 fits, but not the ABN 38. Other models that fit include Fox and Mollenhauer. Puchner and Moosmann do NOT fit. Please contact us if you have a Heckel, we are able to accommodate that.

The bag has a pocket on the side to hold small items.

Included:

All Contrabassoon Gig Bags come with two 2″-wide rubberized backpack straps to conveniently carry your case. Each case also includes one bocal pouch.

Specs:

The gig bag’s exterior dimensions are 52″ X 12″ X 7″ (132 X 30.5 X 17.75 cm), and its interior dimensions are 51″ X 9″ X 4.5″ (127 X 23 X 11.5 cm).

Information about weight for leather and cordura cases is coming soon.

NOTE: Most Cronkhite gig bag orders are cut and sewn after the order is made. If you need a rush, be sure to check with us first.
