Description

Designed for Professional Concert Xylophone Transport

This road case is designed specifically for transporting a 4 octave concert xylophone, a pitched percussion instrument commonly used in orchestras, concert bands, percussion ensembles, and contemporary music settings. Concert xylophones are characterised by wooden bars arranged in two rows, graduated bar lengths, and resonator tubes beneath the bars, all of which require stable support and careful handling during transport.

The internal layout of this case is designed to support the xylophone securely, helping to minimise movement and reduce stress on the bars, resonators, and mounting frame. While built to suit a standard 4 octave concert xylophone, similar instruments with comparable dimensions may also be accommodated with minor internal adjustments.

Durable Construction and Manufacturing Standards

The case is constructed using 12MM Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) birch veneer laminated plywood, manufactured from thin layers of premium hardwood bonded with phenolic resin glue. This construction provides strong resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and general wear, helping ensure long term durability in touring and storage environments.

The exterior panels are finished with a high pressure laminate surface for abrasion resistance, while the interior face is lined with PVC for durability and ease of maintenance. Panels are precision cut using CNC machinery to ensure consistent fit and alignment, and assembly is completed using Armor selected hardware under standard quality control checks.

Functional Design for Handling and Transport

This road case incorporates a ramp loading design, allowing the concert xylophone to be rolled in and out rather than lifted vertically. This reduces physical strain on stage crews and minimises the risk of damage during loading and unloading.

Heavy duty recessed handles, reinforced aluminium extrusions, and professional grade castor wheels support smooth movement across stages, loading docks, and rehearsal spaces. The overall design is truck friendly and suitable for stacking alongside other touring equipment.

Dimensions and Weight

Based on the technical drawings provided, the overall external dimensions of the road case are approximately 176.5 cm (L) × 107.3 cm (W) × 120.3 cm (H).
The net weight of the case is approximately 129.28 kg (case only) .

This road case provides a practical balance between robust protection and manageable transport for professional concert xylophone applications.
