Cello Case Survey

•  What is your current cello case (make, model and price
     when new)? 

•   Was your case made especially for your cello?

•   Do you use a single shoulder strap or rucksack style 
      straps to carry it, or do you prefer to use the handle?

•   Has any part of your case worn out?  If so, please give
      details. 

•   When you take out/put in your cello, do you stand your
      case up or lie it down on the floor?

•   What would be your dream cello case?

•   Please give your current, most-used cello case marks out of 10 for each of the following features/functions in the table below, where 1 is very bad and 10 is very good.
