Although I wasn't expecting the taxes, the higher price was well worth it. The shoulder straps are very comfy and adjustable, the case fits my banjo perfectly and feels protective, I loved how the top end has a harder material inside so the string ends don't tear the softer fabric... And it arrived the next day!Also I noticed that the straps are attached by fastener clips.. so if you want you can remove them! not sure why but ya.The only thing possible not to like is that the pockets aren't large enough to fit a standard sized sheet of paper. Perfect for anything smaller, though.if you have an open back banjo and no case, this is a good product to consider.

fit my Gretch (Roots) 5 string open back banjo perfectly.I added a thick foam support under middle of neck as none was provided.otherwise an economical (under fifty bucks) and sturdy gigbag

Parfait pour mon Banjo open back.

First off, let me say that this Boulder CB-367 Alpine Deluxe gig bag for open back banjos fits my Gold Tone Cripple Creek CC-50 open back banjo perfectly for overall length and width of the pot (11").There is a fair amount of room in the neck area of the bag, and you might want to add some support to your instrument there. I use a roll of bubble packing under and around the neck, which works great. I know others take a big old wool sock and stuff the detachable pads from the shoulder straps in it, and place that under the neck.Material is heavy weight, it has three concentric pockets that can hold a tuner, extra strings, wrench, etc. There is a shallow zipper pocket on the neck. There is also a handy grab loop at the top of the neck convenient for hanging it up, and a grab/hang loop on the back of the bag about halfway up the neck. The carry handle is heavy rubber and it's attached to reinforced webbing sewn to the bag.Zippers are heavy duty, with cord pulls attached to each.Overall this is a very much superior bag to the Gold Tone Heavy Duty gig bag that came with my banjo. If that is Gold Tone's idea of heavy duty, the light duty bag they sell must just be a dust cover. In fact, if you were to purchase the Gold Tone bag, you'd find it is more expensive than this Boulder Alpine bag.The backpack straps are relatively comfortable, and have minimal padding, but sufficient for short walks when your hands are full. Also, there is a sternum strap that goes across your chest which is a big help with stabilizing the banjo on your back.The only design feature I wish this bag had regards the backpack straps. The pads are attached to the bag at their top end (where the back grab loop is) with 1" delrin buckles, and at the bottom with about 1 foot of webbing. This makes adjusting them easy, but if you don't use the padded straps regularly, you might want to remove them. When you remove the padded portion of the straps, it turns out that the 1 foot of webbing at the bottom of the bag isn't quite long enough to clip into the delrin clips at the top. So, those two webbing straps at the bottom of the bag will dangle because there's no convenient way to secure them out of the way. They only needed to make the bottom webbing straps about 3" longer than they are to result in a sweet way to secure the dangling bottom webbing to the to top delrin fittings when the pads are removed. Geez.So I made short 4" long straps with the appropriate delrin fittings to allow the bottom webbing to clip to the top delrin fittings. Problem solved, no dangling webbing when the padded straps are removed.I'm glad I bought this bag. It's great quality, looks really good, is well-padded with good reinforcement of attachment points for loops and handles, and even has reinforcing inside where the headstock tuners could wear out the lining.

Excellent quality and finish

ネック部分があと数センチ長ければと思いました。自分のBanjoを入れると、余裕がまったくありません。前から欲しかったケースなので愛用してます。

This banjo case is very well made, the zippers feel solid, there is padding in all the right places, and the seams are all finished inside. There is a small pocket on the front for picks, extra strings, or a small tuner. There is no room for any chord or music books.Be aware that the fit of this case is fairly snug even with an open back banjo. It would never in a million years fit a banjo with a resonator. If you think you may ever want to travel with a banjo with a resonator, I would recommend buying a bigger case now that can be used for either banjo in the future. Note also that this is a soft gig bag-- suitable for protecting your banjo while it is on a car seat, but not suitable for protecting it while tossed in the trunk or during air travel.

Very nice, if a little expensive for what it is.
