Soft cases are ideal for those looking for the right balance between lightness and protection. When choosing and making the purchase, always check that the measurements are suitable to accommodate your instrument.
Cases are extremely necessary for transporting your instrument. They help make it more manageable thanks to the handles and the strap, but most importantly they allow for protection from potential impacts.
The protection offered by cases varies depending on the type, there are those - so to speak - basic, which are cheaper but also very thin, consequently, they will offer minimal protection. Or there are those progressively more padded up to the semi-rigid ones, which while remaining fairly light are able to provide quite high protection.
If you are looking for maximum security then you should direct your choices to a hard case which you can always consult on Musicalstore2005 at this link.
