Many of the cases for our basses are worn out. The zippers don’t work, or they have holes in them. Unfortunately, they’re also very expensive! I would like to be able to protect our instruments when we travel off campus, and allow my students to more easily transport their instruments home for practice. This case is great because it has wheels! Hopefully this will be the first of many. Our orchestra currently has five bassists and only three cases that will completely zip. We’ve been lucky this year that not all of our bass players have needed to take their instruments off campus at the same time! We are also replacing old, worn out strings (that won’t hold pitch) with new sets on some school violins, and some spare rosin to keep in the classroom for students to use when they don’t have any.
