Cases & Gigbags for Your Ukulele

Gigbag or Hardshell Case?

My personal take on whether to use a gigbag or hard-shell case is: If you are ALWAYS handling transporting your ukulele a good gigbag is the way to go. If anyone else is going to handle your instrument then a hard case is better. No one will take care of your gear better than you will.

Mono M80 Ukulele Tenor Case Jet Black

The Mono M80 Ukulele Case is designed from the inside out to be one of the lightest, thinnest, strongest, and most versatile carrying solutions for the professional musician. A hybrid case featuring an ultra-light laminated foam shell with strategically placed ABS panels, the M80 Case provides an extremely high level of protection for your most-prized investments. Smart features like the Clip/Tuck straps make for easy airport travel, while the streamlined profile helps you slip through the crowds.

Hard Shell

• Ameritage Carrying Cases • Ameritage Humidity Control System to help maintain an ideal level of humidity and preserve your instrument. This is the case that my #1 — Ko'olau CS Tenor came in. It is an optional upgrade from Ko'olau and well worth it.

Gig Bags

• Reunion Blues • Some of the best gig bags available.
• Mono Cases • These are the some of the best gig bags available. I use the tenor ukulele bag for my tenor ALL the time.
• Kala • Kala's Transit bag is really close to a Mono bag at a fraction of the cost. The Transit bag is the goto upgrade at our family Funky Frets Music Store .

Case or Gigbag? If you're handling your instrument, a quality, padded gigbag would be fine. If someone else is a hard case, it's probably better. No one is going to care for your uke like you.
