Mooradian no more?!?!

I just came across this message on the Mooradian website:

Dear Valued Customers,

It is with a heavy heart that I notify you of the closing of the Mooradian Cover Company as of December 31, 2019. For over 35 years we have taken great pride in protecting your instruments with our hand-made, quality covers.

We are in the process of completing existing generic orders for our Dealers and suggest contacting them for all generic product inquiries. We will continue taking custom inquiries on a case-by-case basis. Please direct all custom requests to Emily Hoffman at [email protected]

Thank you for your loyalty to the Mooradian Brand.

Sincerely,

Peter Hoffman/Owner



Too bad. They made a good product. I had one of their double electric bass gig bags for 20-something years, and it looked brand-spanking new when I finally sold it.

Now, admittedly, I sold mine because it did not have the same level of protection nor comprehensive feature set as more modern gig bags (e.g., Mono, ProTec, Reunion Blues, etc.) I wonder if that's what killed off the Mooradian business?

I hope my brethren on the double bass side have an alternate source for doghouse cases/covers, because I think every single one I've seen in the wild was a Mooradian.

RIP

Well, I am ordering a new bag from them.

We have both Standard and Deluxe styles available and do have a few in stock (shipping within 1-2 days).

Standard style covers are one size fits all and cannot be customized. For Deluxe covers, if the dimensions of your bass fall outside the footprint of generic sizes we can build to spec. Pricing for 3/4 sized covers is listed below but please let me know if you need a quote for another size.

• Standard Double Bass Cover 3/4 $561 (available in black only)

• Deluxe Double Bass Cover 3/4 = $796 (available in black, blue, burgundy, green, or silver)
