This case demonstrates excellent quality in both materials and methods of construction, though I have two minor notes to make on design.
Pros:
- Excellent centre post construction. The post is welded to a strong, wide base plate that is riveted through the plastic case from the outside, securing the closure strap with two of the four rivets. Inside the post is well covered with a strong plastic sleeve and has a chunky, plastic-covered nut to keep cymbals secure
- Very good quality, thick cymbal dividers and felts included for maximum cymbal protection
- 4-5mm thick polymer shell, excellently moulded for strength and durability
- Lifetime manufacturer guarantee for original owner.
- Well placed heavy-duty foam padding in the right places inside
Cons:
- Not really a con, just something to be careful off - the handle is moulded to the 'lid' of the case, not the part with the cymbal post. Always unclip the strap with the case on a table or floor so that you don't find yourself holding only a lid!
- both the main case and the 'lid' have two feet moulded into them so that the case can stand upright on four feet. I find that when the lid is secured, it actually creeps over the feet of the main case, leaving it unbalanced when upright.
