Is the case shockproof?

Overview

The BAM Trekking Case is a specialised solution for multi-instrumentalists who require a secure method for transporting both an Oboe and a Cor Anglais simultaneously. Designed with the rigours of touring in mind, the case focuses on shock absorption and climate protection. It is finished in a distinctive red 2000 denier fabric, providing both visibility and durability for the professional musician.

Design and Construction

The core of the Trekking case is its high-density, resilient polyurethane foam interior. This material is injected into special moulds to create a precise cradle for the instruments. The design is specifically based on the dimensions of the Marigaux 910 Oboe and the 900 Cor Anglais, ensuring that the instruments remain stationary during transit to prevent mechanical wear or accidental impact damage.

Protection and Weather Resistance

To safeguard against external elements, the case is wrapped in a 2000 denier fabric that offers high water resistance. This makes it suitable for commuting or touring where exposure to varied weather conditions is likely. The combination of the rigid foam interior and the heavy-duty fabric exterior provides a two-layer defence system against drops, bumps, and thermal changes that can affect woodwind instruments.

Target Audience

This case is primarily aimed at professional orchestral players, advanced students, and touring musicians who need to carry a double setup. Because it is built to accommodate the specific dimensions of high-end Marigaux models, it is a preferred choice for players using these industry-standard instruments. The 'Trekking' design philosophy emphasises portability and ruggedness for those who frequently move between venues.

Comparative Context

Within the BAM product catalogue, the Trekking series represents a more utilitarian and robust alternative to the 'L'Etoile' or 'Artisto' series, which focus more on aesthetic leather finishes or traditional oblong shapes. While BAM produces various instrument-specific bags, such as the New Trekking Single Trumpet Case or the Conservatoire Violin Case, this dual Oboe and Cor Anglais model is uniquely geared toward the ergonomics of woodwind doubling.
