Bags and Cases for Accordions
Accordion bags and cases provide reliable protection for your instrument during transport and storage. The accordion is an instrument with a rich history. It is used not only in folk music but also in various genres, including jazz and classical music. The right bag or case ensures that you can keep your instrument in perfect condition for many years without worrying about damage.
Every musician knows how important carrying comfort is, especially if you travel frequently or perform in different places. Accordion bags are made from durable materials that protect the instrument not only from scratches but also from external influences such as moisture and impacts. They also provide space for storing accessories essential to your playing.
How to measure your accordion for a new bag or case
Measure the height, width and depth of the closed instrument, including registers, feet and any other protruding parts. The interior must allow you to insert it without putting pressure on the keys and buttons, but it must not be so loose that the accordion shifts while you are walking.
| Solution | Advantage | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Soft bag | Lower weight and easier carrying | Everyday transport and storage at home |
| Padded bag | A balance between weight and protection | Frequent transport to rehearsals |
| Hard case | Better resistance to pressure and impacts | More demanding transport |
For a heavier instrument, consider the load capacity of the handles, the width of the shoulder straps and any wheels. The contents of a pocket for sheet music or straps must not press against the body.
