The BAM 2005XLC Hightech Double Violin Case, finished in a distinctive Black Carbon Look, represents a high-end intersection of aesthetics and utility. Designed specifically for professional players who require two instruments for performances—such as different tunings or a backup—this case eliminates the need for carrying multiple individual containers. It belongs to the renowned Hightech series, which is established globally as a standard for instrument protection.
Construction and Technology
The core of the 2005XLC is BAM's signature Hightech technique. This involves a triple-ply structure comprising high-performance materials including ABS and polyurethane foam. The result is a shell that is exceptionally rigid and resistant to external pressure while remaining remarkably lightweight.
Internally, the case features injected foam cushions. These cushions are strategically placed to ensure the instruments are suspended, preventing the violins from coming into direct contact with the outer shell. An additional set of cushions is provided to allow the user to achieve a precise, tailored fit for their specific instruments.
Key Features and Utility
The case is designed for the 'sonic stylist' and frequent traveller. Key features include:
- Dual Instrument Capacity: Specifically shaped to fit two violins securely.
- Portability: Despite its size, the Hightech materials ensure a lightweight feel, suitable for international travel and regular session work.
- Suspension System: Total instrument suspension provided by injected foam cushions.
- Aesthetics: The 'Black Carbon Look' provides a professional, modern visual profile that is instantly recognisable as a BAM design.
Comparison to Alternatives
Within the BAM ecosystem, the 2005XLC offers more specialised protection than the BAM CONS2002SN Conservatoire or the 2002B Artisto models, which are generally aimed at single instruments or different price points. While the LEtoile series offers similar Hightech protection for cellos, the 2005XLC is the definitive choice for dual-violin requirements. Compared to standard wooden cases, the 2005XLC provides better thermal protection and weight savings, though at a higher price point of approximately £961.
