Blue Heron® manufactures quality, lightweight Softshell Cases for most stringed instruments. Our cases provide protection for your instrument combined with the convenient portability of a carefully designed gig bag. The most important feature of any soft case is the padding. We use EVA closed cell foam for the body and sides of the case. We also laminate an additional 1/2in pillow of open-cell foam in the peghead area of stringed instruments as a shock absorber.
