I have a Reunion Blues Continental case I'd like to use on an upcoming trip to Hawai'i--but I find the bag really bulky and I'm wondering if I'd like the Fusion case more and whether they might offer similar levels of protection.
Frankly, I usually carry my Oahu hard case when traveling because it feels solid up in the overhead (not that I ever take my eyes off the overhead whenever it's opened up!) and protects my Moore Bettah tenor with a classic sturdiness.
But this trip coming up will have me schlepping up and down the length of Kalakaua in Waikiki several times a day for 10 days in a row, with ukulele, in mid-July. I *need* the backpack option...
Hubby has offered to jerry-rig some comfy backpack straps onto the Oahu, but it'd still feel like a pretty stiff carry on my back, I think. I tried the HMS Oahu leather-covered fiberglass case (with backack straps) and the build quality on the batch I got wasn't great so I sent it back.
I already have the Reunion Blues bag, but I'm wondering what a real-world comparison would be with the Fusion...
Does anyone own both? Or do you have another idea?
Again, this is a *nice* ukulele, so I want a travel option that will be protective. And, no, it will *never* be checked baggage.
