Music
Road cases and flight cases engineered for the people who make music happen. From orchestras and touring bands to festival production crews and recording studios. Built to survive the road, the freight, and the show.
Armor Cases builds road cases and flight cases for musicians, orchestras, touring bands, and audio professionals. Whether you're moving a baroque timpani between concert halls, shipping a mixing console across the country, or protecting a guitar collection on tour we engineer a case that fits your instrument and survives your schedule.
Every case is SolidWorks designed, 100% CNC built, and backed by a 5-year structural guarantee. Off-the-shelf for common setups. Fully custom for everything.
Flight Cases for Orchestral & Concert Instruments
Orchestral instruments are irreplaceable. A professional timpani, a hand-crafted string instrument, or a concert percussion piece requires a case engineered to its exact dimensions not an off-the-shelf box with generic foam.
We stock precision flight cases purpose-built for orchestras and early music ensembles. Each case features a top-loading hinged lid, a CNC-cut circular foam support that holds the drum centred and stable, stackable dimensions, and rolling casters for easy movement between venues.

$3,520.00This ramp road case is designed to safely transport a professional 4 octave concert xylophone, providing a practical and secure solution for orchestras, touring ensembles, and performance venues. The integrated ramp system allows the instrument to be loaded at ground level, reducing lifting requirements and improving handling safety during load in and pack down. Concert xylophones are precision percussion instruments, and this case focuses on stability, protection, and usability.

Its truck‑friendly dimensions and solid wheels with brakes make moving it around surprisingly manageable, even when the gear inside weighs more than your drummer’s entire kit.

ARMOR LUDWIG 20 INCH TIMPANI FRONT LOADING ROAD CASE

The case’s truck‑friendly dimensions, reinforced build, and smooth‑rolling wheels make moving a 60‑inch drum feel far less dramatic than it sounds. Whether you’re touring, storing, or simply trying to keep your prized percussion gear safe from bumps and bruises, this case offers a practical and reliable solution. It fits one drum and can be adapted for similar oversized models from other brands.
Road Cases for Audio Consoles, Mixers & DJ Setups
A touring sound engineer's console is the centre of every show. It needs a case that protects the faders and circuitry through every bump on the road — and opens fast when it's showtime.
We build road cases for all major console formats — from compact digital mixers to full-size FOH desks — as well as DJ controllers, CDJs, and turntable setups. Each case is custom-sized to your specific model with foam cut-outs for the control surface and a secure lid that won't open in transit.
12‑UNIT ROAD CASE FOR CHAUVET OVATION F‑55WW SPOTLIGHT
$275.00This road case is designed for twelve CHAUVET Ovation F‑55WW fixtures, the compact LED inkie Fresnel‑style spotlights used in studios, theatres, and short‑throw applications. The top hinged lid opens quickly, revealing a foam‑lined interior with more than 110mm of EVA padding at the bottom to help isolate vibration during transport. Dividers made from 9mm plywood keep each fixture separated and stable. A rear accessory compartment provides space for cables, clamps, and handles, keeping everything organized in one place. With solid wheels, recessed handles, and a compact footprint, the case moves easily through venues and truck packs.

2‑UNIT ROAD CASE FOR CHAUVET MAVERICK STORM 2 PROFILE
$275.00This road case is designed for two CHAUVET Maverick Storm 2 Profile fixtures, the large and heavy LED yoke profiles known for their bright output and big moving heads. Because these fixtures are not exactly “light”, the case uses both a top and a front hinged lid, making loading and unloading far easier than a traditional top‑only design. The front lid includes pockets for bracket clamps and even a small wheel at the bottom to help it open smoothly. Inside, thick foam surrounds the fixtures to keep them secure during transport. With solid wheels, recessed handles, and a compact footprint, the case moves easily through venues and truck packs. It’s built for crews who want a practical, safe, and efficient way to transport heavy profile fixtures.
2‑UNIT ROAD CASE FOR CHAUVET ROGUE R3 BEAM LED FIXTURE
$275.00This road case is designed for two CHAUVET Rogue R3 Beam fixtures, the heavy LED beam units known for their bright output and big moving heads.

Inside, thick EVA foam surrounds the fixtures to help isolate vibration and reduce shaking during transport. A dedicated accessory compartment on the right side includes extra EVA padding underneath to keep cables and clamps from shifting around. With solid wheels, recessed handles, and a compact footprint, the case moves smoothly through venues and truck packs.

The hinged lid opens upward, allowing the timpani to be lowered vertically into the case and supported evenly by internal foam padding, helping distribute weight safely across the instrument.
Baroque timpani are highly responsive instruments that require careful handling, particularly around the bowl and tuning components. This case is designed to maintain stability during transport, featuring a circular foam cut out that helps keep the drum centered and protected. Built for touring and frequent movement between venues, the case incorporates stackable, transport friendly dimensions and smooth rolling caster wheels. It is well suited to orchestras, early music ensembles, and professional performance environments that require reliable and controlled instrument protection.
30 INCH BAROQUE TIMPANI TOP LOADING FLIGHT CASE

The hinged lid opens upward, like a top loading washing machine, allowing the timpani to be lowered vertically into the case and supported evenly by internal foam padding. Baroque timpani are high articulation instruments that require stability during transport, particularly due to their hand hammered copper bowls and traditional construction. This case focuses on protecting the instrument while remaining practical for touring and regular venue movement. With stackable, truck friendly dimensions and smooth rolling caster wheels, it is well suited to orchestras, early music ensembles, and professional performance environments.

Precision Foam Inserts for Any Instrument
No two instruments are the same shape. A generic foam lining doesn't protect, it just fills space. Our custom CNC foam insert service creates a fitted interior shaped to the exact contours of your instrument, from the bowl of a baroque timpani to the curves of a vintage acoustic guitar.
We model your equipment in SolidWorks and CNC cut the foam to a perfect fit. The result is an instrument that sits completely still in transit with no movement, no vibration transfer, no damage.
