Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What size cello bag do I need?
To determine the size of cello bag you need, calculate the circumference of your object by multiplying the diameter by 3.14. The width of the flat bag should be half of the circumference plus a minimum of 0.5 inches. The height of the flat bag should be the height of your object plus 1.10 times the diameter.
2. What is the difference between hard and soft cello cases?
Hard cello cases are thicker and wider than soft cases because they have extra padding and suspension inside. It is important to choose a case that is the right size for your instrument. For example, if you have a 1/2 size cello or a 3/4 size cello, you will need a 1/2 size or 3/4 size cello case.
3. Do I need a hard case for my cello?
Yes, hard-shell cases are highly recommended for protecting your cello due to their durability. They offer the best protection for your instrument.
4. Is it bad to leave cello out of case?
It is best to store your cello in its case when you are not playing it, especially when others are present. If you need to leave the cello unattended during a break, make sure to place it securely in the case, avoiding leaving it on its side. Rest the scroll firmly on the chair seat, if possible.
5. How do I know my bag size?
To determine the size of your bag, measure the length, height, and depth (or width) of the bag. Add these three numbers together to find the total linear inches. For example, if the length is 20 inches, the width is 12 inches, and the depth is 6 inches, the total linear inches would be 38.
6. Can you put food in cello bags?
Yes, cello bags can be used for food packaging. They have low permeability to moisture, bacteria, oils, greases, and air, making them suitable for storing food items.
