Kalimba Storage Bag 17/15/10 Notes

Take care of your instrument with this storage bag 

A musical instrument is much more than a working tool, for it becomes an extension of the musician's body.

Learn the basic guidelines and precautions you need to follow to prolong its life, and thus retain its original features and sound.

Basic rules for protecting a musical instrument

Just leave an instrument in the sun for thirty minutes and the wood will deteriorate irreparably. To avoid making these mistakes, here are a few basic rules for the care of your musical instrument.

Temperature and humidity

Do not store in high humidity or at very high or low temperatures. Heat and cold affect wood and metal. Not only because they change the color of the instrument, but also because they eventually wear away or deform the material.

Similarly, if you're giving a concert in the sun, cover it properly after you've finished to avoid any unwanted exposure.

Cleaning

If you have a wooden instrument, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use wax or abrasive materials, as these may damage the material from which it is made and affect its sound.

How do you store your instrument over a long period?

If you're not a professional musician, you probably don't use your instrument every day. In fact, it may even spend long periods of time in a closet, storeroom or garage. But don't forget that dust or humidity can damage it irreversibly!

How to choose the right storage bag for your musical instrument?

Our site offers a wide range of storage bags to protect musical instruments from knocks, scratches and the elements. That's why the storage bag is an indispensable accessory.

However, before making a decision on which storage bag to buy, keep a few basic guidelines in mind:

Rigid suitcases are more expensive, take up more space and are heavier. However, they are still the best choice. They protect your musical instrument much more effectively against bumps and other damage.

In addition to being rigid, a good storage bag must be waterproof.

There's a wide range of cases for carrying your kalimbas (and a wide variety of percussion instruments). But you need to choose a specific storage bag for your instrument!

The truth is, no matter how careful you are, unforeseen events can happen. A wrong move or an oversight can cause an accident that distorts the sound of your instrument. 

Protection

Soft cases (or storage bags)

When we buy an instrument, we have to bear in mind that one of the most important variables to consider is its protection. We don't want any knocks or movements during transport to damage the instrument.

Often, when we buy our first instrument, we buy the classic soft storage bag, ideal for short trips down the street. 

If we don't really need this kind of protection, we can make do with these very light and comfortable cases, which will cover the basic needs of our instrument.

Rigid cases (or storage bags)

But what if we need something more? Many musicians give numerous concerts throughout the year, which means transportation and a few inconveniences. That's why you need a high-quality instrument storage bag.

Although heavier and a little more uncomfortable to carry, hard instrument storage bags guarantee better protection for the instrument and the security that no major unforeseen event will occur on the road. There will be no surprises when we take the instrument out of the case: no bumps, scratches, damage...

We believe that one of the first accessories you should buy after the musical instrument itself is something to protect it from possible scratches, drops or knocks. It's even recommended that this is something you buy at the same time as the musical instrument. Many musicians (beginners, of course) go from weight to weight buying their musical instrument, but they're so excited that they forget something very important: protecting it.

What's more, this storage bag has handles so you can carry it over your shoulder or hold it better in your hand.
