Thomann RC10610 B/SB Banjo Case

I decided to finally get a banjo, and since I move around a lot, sprung for a real case so I can take it on flights without worrying. This case is very solid, my impression is that it can take a lot of punishment while keeping the contents completely safe. A nice bonus is a separate padded foam strip inside to improve the fit for your particular banjo. The top and bottom of the insides is padded to protect your banjo from shocks. An inside pocket holds my tools, spare strings, fingerpicks, strap, and tuner, and still has loads of space to spare. The balance is good when carrying your banjo. One of the clasps locks with a key, for extra protection. Only downside is that the key is basic, so if someone is really determined to get into your case without your permission, they can - but then I think that's true of all luggage. This is a solid case and I recommend it!

Got myself a Dean Backwoods 6 string electro banjo to play a few folky tunes on, so i Needed a case to take it out gigging with. Fits really well in the case. There is a padding strip in the case, for smaller banjos too.

Only pros on this one, no cons. Works perfectly, plenty of space for my strap in the compartment plus a capo, plectrun, clip on tuner etc.

Can only speak on initial impressions, at this stage, but may update later after a year of use, or so.

Great value for money.

This Thomann RC10610 B/SB Banjo case is fitted with 5 clasps and 2 hinges. One of the clasps has a lock and 2 keys are provided. There are 3 large protruding metal studs on the base of the case and 4 studs on the round of the case to protect it while on the floor. This case is tough enough to withstand routine baggage handling on public transport/airlines etc. The dimpled black finish is completed with stitching around the top/lid. Inside there is luxurious black faux velvet styled foam internal padding including full depth padding on the interior to a thickness of 2.5cm. The case also has padding for above and below the instrument storage space and comes with a padded foam board as an extra shock absorber for banjos without resonators. There is a notch at the lower end to encase the banjo neck and a pull up lid forward to this reveals a padded boxed area where truss rod allen keys, spare strings, banjo skin tension tools, tuners and possibly folded copies or small booklets containing music/chord books etc could be stored. The case comes into its own once you have the full weight of the banjo inside and begin to carry your instrument. The centre of gravity is set so that you will not be over fatigued in carrying your instrument to play at venues or to lessons/family and friends' houses. The case also has three bands connecting the lid and underside. Don't forget to keep your spare key separate so that it is available for emergency access. This is a handsome case at a competitive price and is robust and gig ready. I would highly recommend this good looking banjo case to anyone looking to protect their banjo and give it some security. A case with a lock on it is a good way of making sure that no-one plays your instrument without your permission. The clasps are of high quality and haven't tarnished over time. A great purchase from Thomann! Thanks.

I have bought this as a HSC for an Thomann Irish concert Bouzouki. The case is very well built and very sturdy. It is also very stable standing up.

The bouzouki fits perfectly inside, though I have some trouble fitting the strap without removing it from the instrument.

The case is obviously built for use with a banjo. With the bouzouki inside, it feels very top heavy and difficult to handle and carry.

Otherwise a very good product!
