Stop Dragging Your Cello

CELLO CASE GEWA AIR : https://www.violincellomaker.com/prod... If you carry your cello on wheels over bumpy roads, sidewalks, cobblestones, train stations, and city streets, you may be doing more harm than good to your instrument. In this video, I explain why I strongly dislike cello cases with wheels and why, after more than 40 years in violin and cello making, I prefer a lightweight, well-built case that is carried rather than dragged. Every cello receives hours of careful adjustment: 🎻 soundpost fitting 🎻 bridge adjustment 🎻 string setup 🎻 peg fitting 🎻 tonal adjustments So what happens when all of that work is exposed to constant vibrations from rough surfaces? We also take a closer look at the GEWA Air cello case, discuss its German engineering, lightweight construction, safety features, and test whether it can comfortably fit larger cello models such as a Montagnana. In this video you'll learn: • Why Edgar avoids cello cases with wheels • How vibrations can affect your instrument • What to look for in a high-quality cello case • The advantages of lightweight cello cases • Why larger cello models can be difficult to fit • Whether a Montagnana cello fits inside the GEWA Air • The differences between German-made and mass-produced cases • How to safely transport a professional cello Whether you're a professional cellist, student, teacher, collector, or simply passionate about string instruments, choosing the right case is one of the most important decisions you can make to protect your cello.
