Since I got my Stella banjo uke refurbished,I'd been wanting to get a case or gigbag for it. Imagine my surprise when I spotted the Hola! gigbag for a mere $14.95 on Amazon. In fact,I liked the first one so well I got another one for my Luna tribal pineapple soprano- in a different color,of course!
I was amazed at the plush padding-15 mm. Stiff enough to have the bag retain it's shape when a uke isn't inside it. On the inside of the gigbag,where the headstock and string ends hit,there is an additional layer of material there so that part of the bag won't get snagged by the string ends. The outside is made of what looks and feels to be a water resistant material- Oxford nylon fabric. And you can get this in plain black or different designs and colors. A blast from the past is this sports metal zippers instead of plastic. Hearing th zipper brings back a lot of childhood memories of wearing different jackets I had!
And this has a decent sized accessory pocket for a tuner,capo,small book,etc. The handle is well padded and there is a slender adjustable strap for carrying it over your shoulder. While I would ideally have a slightly heavier duty strap,I had to remind myself soprano ukuleles don't hardly weigh anything,and a light strap is all that's needed.
I don't know how long Amazon will have them at this price- so if you're needing a decent gigbag for your uke,or just want to see what it looks like,I've included a link below!
