When upgrading to a better quality flute, many parents and students have questions about the kind of case that is most appropriate for their playing needs. There are many different styles and functions that different flute cases have, from basic and durable to super stylish, and the Indy Flute Shop carries them all!
When you upgrade to a step-up flute, it will come standard with a french-style case. This is a hard interior case that holds the instrument and a soft, durable material on the outside with storage, a handle, and usually a shoulder strap for easier transportation. These cases provide more storage and a more professional look than the standard hard student case, but still offer a good degree of protection for everyday use and travelling. If you need a little bit more protection–say, for marching band or frequent travel–Protec brand cases are very high-quality, durable, and have lots of extra storage. Two types of cases are available: a flute case with shoulder strap and outside pocket storage, and a combo flute/piccolo case, where the piccolo is actually held inside the instrument with the flute.
And of course, if you’re looking for something a bit more stylish and snazzy, look no further than the amazing Fluterscooter bags, available in a variety of styles and colors. The vinyl/imitation leather bags have a plush interior that will hold both a french-style flute and a piccolo case, and the canvas bags are perfect for the minimalist.
