Does Calton Make A Case To Fit My ‘Super-Special, One-Of-A-Kind Instrument?
Truthfully, the answer is “sometimes.” We try to meet the needs of every musician so if we have not made one for an instrument like yours before, then we will likely need a measurement form filled out along with a tracing to give you an answer. We want everyone to have the case that best protects their instrument which is why we only design for instruments we know we have the means to comprehensively protect to the degree we’re known for.
How Are Calton Cases Made?
Utilizing hundreds of templates and a vast selection of molds, we tailor each of our carbon fiber cases to the exact specifications of your instrument. For instruments we haven’t previously encountered, we’ll ask you to provide measurements and custom fit our products to your unique instrument. For over 50 years, we’ve earned a reputation for perfection unmatched in the industry. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how Calton Cases are made:
  • The case is cleaned inside and out.
  • The exterior, hand-laid fiberglass shell is built as durable tops, bottoms, and side walls of each case.
  • The fiberglass shell is trimmed to a specific depth.
  • Latches, bumpers, protective feet, and a handle are added.
  • The interior is built from flexible foam and velvet using templates
  • At 5 stages of quality control inspection points, every square inch of your case is looked over to ensure your product meets our standards.
  • We add your label with a new serial number and ship it to you.
