A TSA-accepted lock is molded right into the case body, and a shortened neck cradle lets one case hold either a long-neck 5-string or a short-neck tenor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does one case fit both a 5-string and a tenor banjo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrossrock shortened the 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, but players who double on both instruments only need one case. Underneath the plush, a custom-molded EPS liner keeps the resonator back and bridge suspended away from the shell, so a knock in transit goes into the foam rather than your banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's included with the Crossrock CRA980BJVB?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossrock CRA980BJVB ABS banjo case, Vibrant Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeys\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: CRA980BJVB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Vibrant Blue (cream plush interior)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell: Injection-molded ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Custom-molded EPS liner with low-pile plush velvet lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Most resonator 5-string and resonator tenor banjos (14.25\" universal barrel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck cradle: Shortened dual-fit cradle for 5-string and tenor necks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock: Built-in, injection-molded TSA-accepted lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Oversized ergonomic handle with four finger grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Accessory compartment in the neck block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Dimensions: 44.5\" x 17\" x 7.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMeasurements (Interior)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 41.93\" (106.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Diameter: 14.37\" (36.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth: 4\" (10.15 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Depth (with Bridge): 4.72\" (12 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill my banjo fit the CRA980BJVB?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14.25\" barrel is sized to clear most resonator 5-string banjos, including Mastertone-style instruments, and most tenor banjos with a resonator. Before ordering, compare your rim and neck to the interior measurements above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat about an open-back banjo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany open-backs and some lighter tenors have a smaller rim, so the body will sit loosely in this barrel. Crossrock recommends adding Removable Padding Strips to take up the gap. They aren't included with this case and are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I check the CRA980BJVB on a flight?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it was designed for that. The lock is built into the case body, so there's no clip-on padlock for security to cut off; TSA inspectors can open it with their master key and relock it without damage. Check your airline's size and weight rules before you fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it comfortable to carry with a heavy resonator banjo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is oversized and contoured, with four finger grooves that keep the case from rotating in a damp grip and spread the load across your hand. Note that it's a handle-carry case; no shoulder or backpack straps are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is it different from the black CRA980BJ?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell, TSA lock, dual-fit cradle, and interior measurements are the same. What changes is the look: Vibrant Blue outside with a cream plush interior, where the black version pairs a black shell with a dark-green interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67264186974457,"sku":"CRA980BJVB","price":154.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/4290\/6427\/files\/crossrock-cra980bjvb-upright-1.jpg?v=1790824459","url":"https:\/\/terrycartermusicstore.com\/en-gb\/products\/crossrock-cra980bj-abs-banjo-case-with-tsa-lock-vibrant-blue","provider":"Terry Carter Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
