Cello Transport Survey

We are currently researching ways to make life easier for cellists travelling by car and train and would like to dedicate an area of our website to cello transport.  As well as contacting train companies to clarify their policies regarding cello transport, we are also asking cellists to share the fruits of their travelling experiences. All participants will receive a set of postcards in return for their contributions, which will be included in a forthcoming article. 

Cello Transport Questions

Where is your favourite place to put your cello case in the car? (passenger seat, boot; upright or lying down)

Do you always anchor your case in the car with a seatbelt?

Is your current cello case easy or difficult to fit into a car? Please give details.

Which make/model of car is most suited to carrying a cello, in your experience?

Which train companies have you found easiest/most difficult to travel with as a cellist?

What is your preferred method of securing your cello in a train carriage (e.g. use empty seat, strap to a secure upright, use luggage racks?)

Do you use a wheeled cello case? If not, which is the most comfortable case to carry?

If you would like to take part in this research, please post your answers to Sarah Mnatzaganian at 7, Cambridge Road, Ely CB7 4HJ or email your ideas to us.

All contributors will be sent a set of free Cello Care Guide postcards in return. Thank you for your help.
