interior
All Accord cases have a unique suspension system engineered to float the instruments on a cushion of foam pads.
Self-adhesive cushions of various widths are easily combined for various instruments, which enables very precise inner fitting and security. Ecologically and chemically neutral insulation makes no impact on the instrument’s final varnish neither it damages it. It prevents moisture collection. Excellent insulation features. Detachable cushions at the bottom can be adjustable to each instrument.
- 2 belts in the interior for the instrument’s fastening
- tight fixing department for accessories
- detachable pockets for accessories and sheet music

Our recommendation: Built to withstand all the rigors of travel.
Stanley Clarke (quote):
“The Accord Case is the best traveling case I have ever had. Touring internationally with an upright bass can be very challenging. It has made things so much easier.”
I am also interested in hearing about this case. I have used a Kolstein for years but as some of us already know, certain airlines and certain airports have become hysterical about keeping the weight under 100 lbs.
If you are even a little over the limit, it is not uncommon that they will try to send you directly to air cargo-no discussion.
So I am curious, like Frogalair, does anyone here have any first hand knowledge of the Accord flight case?
I have heard already they cost over 4 grand; perhaps they are worth it? |
