Choosing the Right Case for Musicians & Touring Pros

Your instruments and audio gear are valuable investments, and selecting the right Pelican case—new or used—ensures they stay protected through the rigors of touring. Here’s what to consider when choosing your case, with insights on why musicians and touring pros love our high-quality used Pelican cases:

1. Size and Compatibility

Match the case to your gear. For compact setups like microphones or small mixers, consider cases like the Pelican 1450. For larger equipment like guitars, keyboards, or full audio rigs, opt for models like the Pelican 1550, 1610, or 1620. Used cases, thoroughly inspected at The Case Place, accommodate your gear at up to 50% less than new, making durability affordable.

2. Protection Level

Pelican cases, new or used, provide crushproof, waterproof (IP67-rated), and dustproof protection to shield your instruments from impacts, moisture, and rough handling on the road. Our used cases are rigorously checked to ensure seals and latches maintain waterproof integrity, offering the same rugged reliability as new cases.

3. Portability

For touring pros always on the move, portability is critical. The Pelican Storm case, made from lightweight HPX resin, delivers rugged strength without added weight, making it ideal for frequent travel. Used Pelican Storm cases combine affordability and easy transport for musicians hitting the road.

4. Organization

Customizable foam or divider systems keep guitars, mics, cables, and accessories secure and accessible. Many used Pelican cases come with adjustable foam inserts for a tailored fit, while others offer empty interiors for custom padding. Lid organizers are perfect for small items like picks, tuners, or earbuds.

5. Special Features

Look for cases with pressure equalization valves for sensitive gear like microphones or electronics, especially for air travel. Lockable latches add security for high-value instruments. Used cases at The Case Place are professionally inspected to ensure all features meet the demands of touring.
