Jun 10, 2021

June 10, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - Calton Cases, a company based in Austin, TX, has announced that they have recently published a blog post providing practical reasons why there is a need for a strong case for musical instruments. In the article, “Practical Reasons to Want a Strong Case for Musical Instruments,” it is pointed that musicians who frequently travel with their instrument will find that there are practical reasons for getting a strong case for their instrument.

One good practical reason for getting a strong case for a musical instrument is overall aesthetic appeal. Jeff Poss, owner of Calton Cases, says, “While casual shows may warrant a more casual case, most performers like to have a strong case. They look more professional, so those who have it will look more professional. When you get a hard case from Calton Cases, you can even customize it based on your aesthetic preferences. There are plenty of combinations of exteriors and interiors so you can get a case that’s on-brand for you and your music. Hard cases are also perfect for your own DIY customization. Don’t be afraid to decorate your hard case with sturdy stickers.”

Another important reason for getting a strong case for a musical instrument is that these cases are a perfect fit for the instrument. Soft cases allow the instrument to shift back and forth while the musician is walking around. In addition, if the material isn’t soft, it could scratch finished surfaces because of the friction. With a good strong case, it is assured that the case is fitted perfectly to the specific instrument. This means that there’s no need to worry about any shifting regardless of whether the musician is walking around with the instrument in tow or the instrument is in the car while the musician is on the way to a show.

An important reason for getting a strong case for a musical instrument, such as a guitar flight case, is safety and protection. The primary benefit of a hard case for a musical instrument is the better protection that it offers. A musical instrument is usually expensive, and many musicians tend to develop strong personal relationships with their gear. Those who aren’t using an adequate case could lose the instrument.

Jeff Poss says, “You would want your case to stand up to all potential dangers. Whether the case falls off of a stage or a moving vehicle, someone steps on it by mistake, or worse, your case keeps your instrument safe and sound. You can even avoid damage from humidity. Because of the strong latches, you don’t even have to worry about your instrument falling out of the case. While you travel, you know that your instrument is going to remain show-ready.”

With a strong case, the musician is assured of having safety, security, and the bonus of a cool and professional look. The instrument case is almost as important as the instrument, so it would be advisable get the best.

Meanwhile, Calton Cases has more than 50 years of experience, and their research and development has led to the premier luxury hard cases that they are offering. Every part of a Calton Case is engineered to keep the instrument safe for a lifetime.

WNBA offseason begins with search for first commissioner

UNCASVILLE, Connecticut — With Golden State the newly crowned WNBA champion, the league turns its attention to a pivotal offseason. Unlike last year when a new collective bargaining agreement dominated the offseason, the top priority is finding new leadership. Outgoing Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, who has been in the position nearly seven years, announced last month that she was retiring at the end of the calendar with year. A search has begun and the next commissiner will inherit a host of issues, including officiating, the transgender debate scheduling and improving a strained relationship with players. Here's a look at some of the main topics that will be center stage over the next few months before the season tips off again next May with a 50-game schedule: Improving relationship with players The league thrived in many ways during Engelbert's tenure. Under her leadership, the WNBA enjoyed record growth and popularity, and signed a record-breaking broadcasting deal. Players surpassed million-dollar annual salaries. But despite her accomplishments, Engelbert's relationship with players cordial at best, confrontational at other times. Breanna Stewart may have summed it up best when said that players “respect” Engelbert. Building a stronger relationship with players will likely be one of the first things on the new commissioner's to-do list. Officiating improvements Complaints about officiating felt like it reached a crescendo this season. The WNBA is taking various steps to address the situation. The league is opening a the new officiating replay center. The WNBA, along with the NBA, completed a multi-million dollar renovation in New Jersey to the official replay center. It will be fully operational next season. The WNBA is working to upgrade techonology and video infrastructure at arenas to help the process. There were improvements this year after a rough start to the season where teams struggled to adjust to the emphasis on players' freedom of movement. The league put together a task force, which Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve is on, in the offseason to help clean up some of the physicality in the game. The main point of emphasis was to help players’ freedom of movement. Despite some hiccups early on, it has led to more offense as teams are averaging around 86 points a game — the highest ever. Scheduling challenges WNBA teams will play a record 50 games next season. It helps that there's no break for either the women's FIBA World Cup or the Olympics. Still the playoffs could once again go into the start of the NBA season. Nearly every team will be playing in an NBA arena next season with a few exceptions. To avoid a repeat of this year where Game 6 of the WNBA Finals was played at 12:30 p.m. EDT because of arena availability, the teams need to lock in potential playoff dates way ahead of time. Transgender debate The WNBA has criticized those trying to create a narrative about transgender women playing in the league. “There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others,” a league spokesperson said in August after an anti-hate task force met virtually and discussed a variety of topics, including social media vitriol and transgender athletes. The league’s collective bargaining agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” but it does not include any more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth. Two former NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women. The league has said they aren't eligible. Welcome back Houston Comets The Connecticut Sun will relocate to Houston as the Comets will return after folding in 2008. The Sun were bought by the Houston Rockets ownership group led by Tilman Fertitta for $300 million. The Comets will begin play next season and are tied with Toronto for the best chance to win the WNBA draft lottery that will be held on Nov. 15. While the Sun relocated to Houston, there will be no expansion teams entering the league next year. Cleveland will enter in 2028, Detroit in 2029 and Philadelphia in 2030.
