Case recommendations

[HoGo]

From Louise - " I have two in cases that always read 60%." I've never even glanced at the reading on the hygrometer in my own Travelite. However - i've often wondered that if we removed them,they'd be any use & serve us better outside the case ?. Maybe - maybe not !,

They are worthless. I have one too and it barely moves 10-15% up and down with extreme changes of real humidity. My son got large styrofoam case with his cello and the hygrometer on that works much better (moves 30% u and down) , but still lacks any accuracy...
Caliber III or IV is recommended hygrometer with good precision.

I chime in to offer a recommendation that I seldom see posted when this question about cases comes up on the Cafe', which appear often.

I have appreciated the Zero Gravity case from TKL... I almost never see it referenced. Here are a few pictures. I knew nothing about these cases until David Cohen sent my custom A5 in one 2 years ago. I much prefer it to the Travelight case I've previously owned.

I am having trouble finding this case for sale. I saw one music store selling it for $149.00 and another at $79.00 Quite a wide gap. Anyone know where it can be purchased?

Hi Adrian - I thought that would be the case. ''Fitted for show - not for use'' !.

Mossmanl - I have considered one of the TKL cases in the past,but the outer pocket,for which i have no use whatsoever,put me off. They do seem to be a nice case though. Is the construction similar to the Travelite case ie. a rigid body inside which a foam core is fitted ?,

Hey Ivan -

Yes, as far as I know these are very similar in construction to the Travelight.. I assume the "molded core" is Styrofoam...??
