As a cellist and inventor of “Accord case“, I’ve been challenged to find even more functional and elegant solutions. Finally, after years of permanent upgrades I am excited to show my new cello A case. Lighter, stronger and more comfortable…in one.
It is 2,8kg, fully equipped, equal to Accord “Ultralight“, but at the same time stronger then Accord “Standard“ (+/-150 gram depending on colour, design or interior). For custom orders, it can be made lighter ( to an amazing 2,5kg), or gradually stronger (up to “flight-case“ strength 5kg).
More ease and security in accommodating instruments
It has wider “waist“, with deeper back, and more space for lower pegs. Evensome “Montagnana“ sized instruments fit into the same case. Still, all this sizing is hardly visible, because those are precise changes in design with significant improvement in functionality.
New interior supports hold the instrument on its strongest points:
The joint of the body and neck (root) is firmly kept inside the shaped foam. Cello slides into the chosen position. Velcro cushion is attached to the carbon “wall“. To hold the neck in its position there is the loop made of velcro material, certified for min. of 10 000 openings. Also adjustable and detachable.
– At another strongest point, the instrument is supported behind the end-pin. On the bottom of the case is a foam-bar, that may be thicker or thinner, depending on length of the end-pin. Keeping spike a little above the bottom.
– The side paddings are precisely adjustable as well. (horizontal wedges for lower, and vertical for upper bouts)
– On the back are soft foam cushions, that keep the instrument floating inside the case. Usual “neck support“ solutions are strictly avoided, because it is often harmful when a case falls backwards.
