A shortened neck cradle lets the same case seat a long-neck 5-string resonator banjo or a short-neck tenor banjo, and dual-shoulder backpack straps free up your hands on the walk from the car to the jam, lesson, or stage. Inside, a high-density EPS liner with red plush lining keeps the banjo held securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does one case fit both a 5-string and a tenor banjo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost banjo cases are shaped around one neck length. This one uses a shortened neck cradle, so a tenor neck seats correctly while a longer 5-string neck still finds its position. The trade-off is a smaller accessory compartment in the neck block. In return, players who switch between a 5-string bluegrass set and a tenor session can use a single case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's included with the Crossrock CRA861BJCH?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossrock CRA861BJCH ABS banjo case, Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-shoulder backpack straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeys for the latch locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Crossrock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: CRA861BJCH (listed by Crossrock as the CRA861\/CRA865)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Champagne (red interior, silver trim)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell: Injection-molded ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Most resonator 5-string banjos and most tenor banjos with resonator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: Universal 14.25\" diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: High-density EPS liner, red plush lining, room for the 5th-string tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Accessory compartment in the neck block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Molded ABS handle, metal latch locks with keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry: Handle and dual-shoulder backpack straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Dimensions: 17 x 7.5 x 44.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 7.7 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMeasurements (Interior)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 41.93\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Diameter: 14.37\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth: 3.15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Depth (arch-top for bridge): 4.72\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Compartment: 4.33\" x 3.93\" x 2.56\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the CRA861BJCH fit my banjo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14.25\" universal barrel is sized for most resonator 5-string banjos, including Mastertone-style instruments, and most tenor banjos with a resonator. Compare your banjo with the interior measurements above, particularly the 14.37\" body diameter and the 41.93\" overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat if my banjo has a smaller rim?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany open-backs and some lighter tenors will sit loosely in the barrel. Crossrock recommends adding its Removable Padding Strips to take up the gap and stop the banjo shifting. They aren't included with this case and are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I carry it as a backpack for long distances?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straps are meant for short carries, like a parking lot to a jam or a hotel to the venue. A resonator banjo is heavy, so Crossrock doesn't recommend backpacking it over long distances or for long stretches of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the CRA861BJCH TSA-friendly for flying?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It uses standard metal latch locks rather than a TSA lock. If you fly with your banjo, the Crossrock CRA980BJ uses the same molded ABS shell and EPS liner and adds a TSA lock and an ergonomic handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is it different from the Black CRA861BJ?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell, interior layout, and measurements are the same. What changes is the champagne exterior and the red plush lining.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67264205095161,"sku":"CRA861BJCH","price":146.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/4290\/6427\/files\/crossrock-cra861bjch-banjo-case-standing-1.jpg?v=1790824705","url":"https:\/\/terrycartermusicstore.com\/en-gb\/products\/crossrock-cra861bj-abs-banjo-case-backpackable-champagne","provider":"Terry Carter Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
