Lighter than hardshell cases yet just as protective.

Tired of lugging around that heavy, hardshell banjo case with edges that ding up your shins and other gear? Our Durafoam banjo cases offer the same protection minus the heft and damage potential. The high-density polystyrene foam shell has a soft plush form-fitting interior that coddles your instrument and is covered with tough Cordura. Thoughtful touches include an outside music pocket, interior accessory pocket, quality zipper, and padded shoulder straps.

    I thought for the price I couldn't afford not to give it a try- I was very surprised when I unpacked the case. I had just looked at a similar case at a local store, for almost three times the cost of this case with the same features. Although the outside pocket could have been big enough to hold a book, I don't personally carry a book with me. It holds plenty of other things though, making it a tremendous value for anyone who plays resonator banjo. (an open-back will need supplemental padding.)

    For an open back I would not suggest this banjo case. I put mine in it and it flopped around left to right and sat way too lowat the pot. I am sure for a resonator banjo it would be great. I am making some extra padding to keep using it as the lightness and protection is great.

      Comments about Musician's Gear Durafoam Shaped Banjo Case:

      The design is great and a good fit for my Gold Star. Offers good protection in the right places. The handles are large with no special grip so carrying for a lengthy distance is best using the shoulder straps.
      I had a hard shell for many years and often found I had to put some music books and sheets inside the case. The large outer pockets on this case make a great alternative. The material seems like it will withstand a lot of external contact with car trunks and stage floors with no ill affects. The zipper also appears quite sturdy although I am usually carefull with this so I don't foresee any addtional stress on it during normal use.

        Great case, better than a gig bag and much lighter than a conventional hard case that are way too heavy. Light and durable, great combination.

        I got this for my husband as a gift to replace his old, worn out case. He loves it. It does a great job protecting the banjo and the backpack straps leave his hands free to carry my accordion and clarinet. I mean...
        So... I love it, too! ;)

            I like this type of case... Mainly because of the weight. They are great protection for home to gig type situations. Perfect for a guy like me that doesn't do heavy on the road gigging anymore.

                    This is so much better than the case I had. So far it is working well. I am a little concerned with the zippers. I've never had a case like this before.

                      Very Nice, Indeed!

                      Comments about Musician's Gear Durafoam Shaped Banjo Case:

                      I would prefer this case over a hardshell case because of the outside pocket, light weight and backpack style carrying straps. Since I hand carry my banjo everywhere, I am confident that it is well protected. I also like the foam rather than the hard shell for when I accidentally bump into something. No dents or scratches.
                      The outside pocket is quite handy but too small to fit a tab book or sheet music.
                      It has straps for a backpack type carrying option which is great if you are walking around with it.
                      The inside lining is plush. Very soft.
                      It is great for what it is. I wouldn't check it in as baggage at the airport with a high quality banjo inside but for everyday toting around, it holds up really well.
                      This is a really great value. Unless your banjo will be baggage on an airplane or bus, I would say this is all you need to protect your banjo.
