Hiscox cases are made in the Staffordshire England
to the highest standards. These ultra-light weight cases are “flight worthy”
and should protect your instrument in most circumstances encountered in
airline travel.
The construction is moulded, high impact resistant A.B.S.
plastic outer shell, bonded directly to an inner moulding of cellular foam.
This inner moulding is feather light and semi-rigid; designed to
soak up impact shocks from the outside world. The unique bonding of the
inner moulding to the outer shell gives structural rigidity which is unmatched
by any other case in this price range.
The case lining is a crushed velvet type fabric bonded
directly onto the shaped foam. Extra cushioning is provided by upholstered
pads in the PRO and Artist ranges which are factory fitted in key areas.
The aluminium valance increases the rigidity of the
case and ensures a positive location of lid to base. Unlike any other
case available on the market, the valance extends deep inside the case
behind the plastic shell, into which all the hardware (handles, catches,
hinges etc.) is riveted. This method of fixing greatly reduces the possibility
of fittings working loose.
Exhibiting incredible structural rigidity, all Hiscox
Liteflite cases have enormous crush strength with their standard
case range tested to over 500kg (five fully grown people)!
