Cellos come in sizes from 1/10 to 4/4, and cases must match. Protection needs differ from guitar cases because of the endpin and bow.
Size matching
Measure the cello body length. Cases are built for 1/10, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 4/4 cellos. A 3/4 cello in a 4/4 case rattles and risks damage.
Protection
- Hard case: for travel and storage.
- Padded bag: for local transport.
- Endpin protection: check the bottom.
- Bow holder: separate compartment.
Comfort
Backpack straps and a balanced handle matter — cellos are heavy to carry.
