Every retailer wants their products to reach the customer in pristine condition. For retailers of musical instruments and associated equipment, this presents a unique set of challenges. Our Yorkshire built music trunks may just be the solution.
Most musical instruments are ergonomic in design. That means they are designed to fit the human form, not the boxes they are transported in. For example, the famous Gibson Les Paul electric guitar has shallow cutaways in the sides of the body to fit the player’s leg and arm when seated, and a deep cutaway next to the neck joint to allow the player full access to the neck. You wouldn’t want to fling them loose into Yorkshire built music trunks, but a well fitted transport case is an excellent solution. Other guitars are even more intricately sculptured, with extensive carving on the back and face of the instrument.
Unfortunately, ergonomic shapes rarely stack well. And while the traditional leather bound cases supplied with such instruments as Gibsons and Fenders may appear very elegant, they do little to improve matters, shaped as they are to echo the form of the instrument inside. Gothard Flight Cases of Yorkshire produce music trunks on a made to measure basis, with a robust exterior shell which allows any instrument to be securely transported alongside other equipment.
Our music trunks from Yorkshire can be used when delivering expensive instruments to customers. Because they are custom made, a trunk can be ordered in a size which will enclose both the instrument and its manufacturer supplied case, thereby offering double the level of protection. The instrument can be offered for sale with the made to measure trunk included, or a single trunk could be used time and again for deliveries of similarly sized instruments. Music trunks from Gothard Flight Cases of Yorkshire can be supplied for instruments from a pipe organ to a mouth organ, with plenty of room for associated equipment.
Another use for our Yorkshire music trunks is for gigging bands.
Any grass roots musician will be familiar with the frustration of trying to pack away their gear after a gig. Several hundred meters of electrical cabling tangles around equipment of all shapes and sizes, such as music stands, microphone stands, instrument stands, instruments, public address systems, lighting equipment, and stage props. Even the most organised performer can fall foul of equipment gridlock as your gear criss-crosses everyone else’s in the darkened environment of the performance stage. Enter Gothard Flight Cases of Yorkshire. Our music trunks allow for the organised storage and movement of all performance related equipment, keeping all your precious gear safe from impacts, vibration and the famously unpredictable Yorkshire weather. Individual music trunks for each member of the band means no more mixing up of kit, no more struggling to make it all fit in the van last thing at night, and what’s more you can make the guy who always packs too much carry his own stuff for a change!
