Catalog of 10 Standard Sizes Designed to Host
Violins, Mandolins, Electric, Acoustic & Bass Guitars
We've tried to characterize the market based on size, depth and hang-angle. We show you, in our recommendations below, the
smallest case or cabinet that will comfortably host most types of guitars. If you are uncertain about what size you require,
simply eMail us with the make and model of your instrument, and we'll reply with advice.
Keep in mind that the next larger size will yield more convenient access (space around your instrument) and a less obstructed
field of view.
Why so many sizes?
