#Cases
The case is not packaging. It is the reason the tips are still pointed in five years: instruments knocking against each other in a drawer chip their own edges, and a chipped tip cannot be brought back. These entries cover the materials and the construction — nappa against cowhide, how a case is stitched, why a fitted slot matters more than the leather grade, and what to do if your instrument came without one. Keep the case out of the bathroom whichever you have: steam is water, and a closed case in a humid room stays humid for hours after the shower. Our sets and cases ship fitted for exactly this reason.

A soft full-grain leather tanned to stay supple. Used for instrument cases because it takes daily handling without cracking at the folds.
