It has come to our attention that a survey on cello cases on another website has highlighted many shortcomings, problems, faults and complaints about most cello cases now available- the writers of this do not sell cases, and the survey in our view is biased and not representative- and in many cases, the 'facts' as stated are simply not true- they are based on a small selected sample of individuals who have little direct knowledge of the cases, while we at SoundPost are perfectly placed to assess all cases, having had the most experience of most brands in the UK. We can say here and now, that Accord, BAM , Hiscox, Winter and Brack in particular are fine cases, fit for purpose, they can be repaired if handles or catches etc break, ( as can happen on any product if mis-used,) all carry full manufacturers warrantee ( Accord for 3 years)., and at Soundpost we can repair broken handles, catches, and fit backpacks, feet, and additional handles and wheels if needed. We can also send any case back to the maker ( if it cannot be repaired 'in house' ) if a fault does develop, which is very rare. We challenge the findings of this survey, and would like to re-assure all our customers that our branded cases are all carefully chosen for quality.( We do not sell the cheaper unbranded cases, for the simple reason that those are in fact of inferior quality and represent poor value for money). Please ask us for an honest assesment of the quality of any case- even if we do not stock it, we are always happy to give you genuine experience-based advice.
SoundPost is a specialist stringed instrument shop- (we are the 'original Soundpost')- established since 1972. We stock and sell from the shop or via mail order, or from this website, a range of quality cases for many types of instruments, many of which are listed on the website. Our product knowledge and experience is second to none. We have sourced internationally many special products, including carbon fibre products, and stock and sell only high quality 'branded' products.
Prices: ( Prices currently not all online, while I update all to reflect the VAT increase, and possible other price changes for 2010. Enquire please)
Prices are not shown against individual items on the various 'Case' pages, but are listed separately, in .pdf format, available via a link on each page, for online viewing or download / printing. We have opted for this format in order to make all prices easily comparable at a glance.
Agencies: We are agents for many fine cases: Accord Cases (Exclusive UK Distributor / Importer, Premier dealer and stockist), BAM (UK principal stockist and direct importer), Timms Handmade Cases, SoundPost Handmade Cases, Brack, Musafia, Winter, Hiscox, Fiedler cello flight cases and other Fiedler products, Gill, Take-Off, Negri, (Jaeger and Gewa cases to order), and others.
Please Note: Our prices include VAT- many other apparently cheaper prices advertised do not always include VAT, so when making comparisons, bear this in mind please. ( VAT is currently 17.5% in the U.K.- buyers outside the EU can deduct this from the advertised purchase price, calculated by taking 7/47 ths off the total price). Our prices do not include delivery- we usually offer courier service, but please confirm 'all-up'price before making payment- we charge delivery out at our cost, packing free. We also offer tax-free shopping for overseas personal customers. We ship world-wide. Please visit our 'Terms of Trade' page for further details.
Take a tour through our site!
We do not stock unbranded cases of inferior quality- nor do we use 'made-up' names for our case models- the reason this is sometimes done by others is purely to confuse the buyer, and mask the true pricing, making it impossible to compare prices easily. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for- this site is the new re-designed SoundPost simplified site, so if you do not find it easy to use, please contact us and say so- we will try to improve it- your feedback will be welcomed.
We try to hold all the products listed in stock- (We are the only UK shop to hold Accord cases, all models, in stock for example). However, there are times when a particular model or colour is 'sold out' and stock delivery may vary from time to time- some cases, especially those of BAM which are notoriously in short supply, can take many months to come back into stock- however we are pleased to be able to offer a priority waiting list in these instances. We are also able to order as a 'special' any case that the manufacturers offer. eg Musafia, where almost all models are done to order only, and for viola cases where many are made only to pattern. We can also offer custom artwork for all Accord models.
Not all products s we stock are listed on the site however- so if you do not find what you want, call and ask- we may well have it, or know where to get it and can order for you. We are always pleased to discuss and advise, and give you the best advice on the case most suitable for your application. Opening times and all contact details, directions etc. on our 'Contact' page.
