BAM SG5003S Saint Germain Classic III Violin Case in Blue:INTERIORS:In order to get the highest protection against shocks, the interior of Bam cases are made of high resilience foam cushions, supporting the instrument on its strongest parts. These are designed either as a cradle for the instrument, or as a set up maintaining the instrument in total suspension.

The foam of these inserts and cushions stands out from other types of foam, offering: a longer life time an excellent resilience (the foam gets back to its original shape and strength) a protective "skin" effect for the instrument an excellent protection against weather changes, reinforced by a water resistant fabric:THERMOFORMED SHELLS:THE "CLASSIC" : SINGLE LAYER ABS Extremely strong Very resistant against shocks and puncture Textured or sleek look THE "NEWTECH": DOUBLE LAYER STRUCTURE WITH AN AIREX / PVC FOAM SKELETON ABS outer layer with an anti-scratch PMMA film Great rigidity of the case allowing easy opening and closing Light weight and resistant against shocks THE "HIGHTECH": TRIPLE PLY STRUCTURE WITH FULL AIREX / PVC FOAM CORE Ultra-light weight Extremely rigid Excellent resistance to shocks and temperature changes Comment: THE BAM SEAL Each of the thermoformed case from Bam is equipped with a rigid PVC "male/female" seal.
