JW-eastman CE133 4/4 Cello Case PYW

My first cello case, so didn't know fully what to expect. First impression: nice finish inside and out, beautiful colour, strong factory smell. First hurdle: trying to close the case - it proved very tricky at first, the 2 sides didn't want to come together, and I almost considered sending it back, but my cello teacher told me that it's normal with new cases and that the plastic seals will get shaped with time.

The case is very stable when standing up, closed or open, so the cello can be taken out of it with the case standing up or laying horizontally.

The case is quite light, obviously with the cello inside it's quite some weight to carry (I use the backpack straps, which are wide and padded), but I know that some cases are double the weight!

On the whole, really pleased with quality, and now that I know that the closing process is just something to get used to, I can say that it's really a fantastic case for the price.
