Alright, violinists, gather around! Let’s discuss how to keep your costly BAM violin case in good condition. When it comes to case management, believe me; I’ve been there, done that and mastered it. So buckle up as I reveal how to treat your BAM violin case like it’s your firstborn.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

Exterior Cleaning

First things first, let’s talk about why we’re even bothering with this. Your BAM violin case isn’t just some fancy box – it’s your instrument’s fortress, it is a home away from home. And let me tell you: these cases are not just cheap. So, we’ll make sure it lasts longer than your prior relationship, okay?

Interior Care

We’ll now get down to business with routine cleaning and maintenance. I can’t say it enough: keep the outside tidy! I’ve seen examples that appear to have been through a mud wrestling bout. Not cool. A soft, wet towel is your best bet here. After each use, gently wipe your case down. Believe me, your future self will thank you.

But do not forget about that gorgeous interior, which also requires affection. I vacuum mine on a regular basis; like a spa day for my case. Just don’t forget to be kind. We’re not trying to suck up the padding here.

Proper Storage Practices

Proper storage is next on our hit list. I learned this the hard way after leaving my case in direct sunlight. Let’s just say my BAM violin case looked like it had spent a week in the Sahara. Not attractive. Keep it in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight and excessive temperatures. Your case should be enjoying its optimum life., not auditioning for a role in “Survivor: Violin Case Edition.”

Handling and Usage Tips

When it comes to handling, treat your BAM violin case like it’s made of glass. I’ve seen folks swing these things around as if they were invincible. They’re not. Always use the handles or straps provided. And, for the love of all that is musical, do not use it as a temporary chair or footrest.

Regular Inspections

It’s also important to do regular inspections. As simple as checking each part every day to see if there are dents, cracks, or warping. Major issues always come from minor ones so make sure to be observant of your case. However, if you want to be sure, you can entrust it to a professional staff at the music store to check it for you – though they may charge you but not that much. 

Special Care for Custom Features

Now, let’s talk about those fancy custom features on your BAM violin case. 

Unique Components

If you’ve got unique components like special locks or custom padding, they need extra TLC. I once ignored a sticky lock until it became the Fort Knox of violin cases. It wasn’t fun. Don’t try to be a hero if something appears to be beyond your abilities. Have it properly serviced.

Professional Servicing

Speaking of which, don’t shy away from professional servicing when needed. It’s like taking your car for a tune-up. Sure, it will cost some money, but it is less expensive than replacing the entire thing.

Conclusion

While caring for your BAM violin case isn’t difficult, it does take some effort. Consider this an investment in your musical future. A well-kept case indicates a well-protected instrument, which leads to better music for all. This should be a win-win scenario, correct? Always remember that a little love may go a long way. If you keep your case properly, it will protect your instrument for many years.
