Every stringed instrument is precious and therefore needs to be cared for. Leaving your instruments exposed to dust, debris, moisture, and other elements occurring in nature is an open invitation to damage. This case from Thomann serves as a protective enclosure for your beloved instruments. You can use this case to transport and store your Irish bouzouki or octave mandolin. The case is sufficiently padded for insulation from the impact of shocks and bumps. The backpack straps keep your hands free for holding other items. This case can be carried by the handle as well.
