Price Fiberglass Banjo case Reviews

Price Fiberglass Banjo case submitted 5/13/2008 Submitter BvilleDon (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased Gary Price Overall Comments I bought this directly from Gary. It is almost an art object, because the functionality of the design is so exquisite. It is heavy, but very well balanced. There is ample storage room. The hinges are especially heavy duty. It is much easier to keep my banjo in a case like this, instead of on a stand, because I can get to storage without disturbing the banjo and the lid has a trustworthy vertical setting for ease of use. My only caviat would be to those too frail to deal with a case this heavy, and in such a situation I would still recommend this case, because of the security it offers, as long as the player would realize he or she would need help in transporting the case. But it is that good and the only case to which I will entrust my Granada. Overall Rating 10

Price Fiberglass Banjo case submitted 3/29/2008 Submitter Banjocoltrane (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased banjo.com Overall Comments I have had this case for two months now. I like the looks of it better than any case on the market...leaves people guessing what instrument is in it. The thing is build solid as a rock. Having the ability to open up the compartments without taking the banjo out is a major plus. It IS heavy, but one can't expect something made like this to weigh 2 pounds. I highly recommend it Overall Rating 9

Price Fiberglass Banjo case submitted 2/21/2008 Submitter redspruce43 (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased Chief Banjo Overall Comments Well made and beautiful, but with some fatal flaws. First, it weighs at least 10 pounds more than my Calton. Second, it does not balance properly at the handle -- it tips forward. Third, it apparently does not firmly hold the heaviest part of the banjo (the neck, rim, tone ring, etc.). My new Chief resonator was broken when I opened the case the first time -- broken at the neck end, suggesting that there was enough movement at the heel of the neck to drive the weight of the banjo through the resonator. I think this type of damage could also happen with a Calton, but I prefer the lighter weight and better balance of the Calton case. Overall Rating 5

It is a little heavy, but I can deal with that for maximum protection for my Banjo! Overall Rating 10
