Just received this: https://www.sharmusic.com:80/Cases-...Dart-Shape-Backpack-Case-Cover-for-Violin.axd

Happy to find out it fits pretty well, not too sloppily, over standard shaped tenor hard (wood) cases. Keeps peripheral stuff in one place.

Doesn't quite fit an Oahu baritone hard case from HMS... 0919191926_HDR.jpg
Maybe the viola version *might* https://www.sharmusic.com:80/Cases-...-Dart-Shape-Backpack-Case-Cover-for-Viola.axd

EDIT TO ADD: "OK, it's been a few days & I've decided it IS a bit swimmy. Hope I didn't mislead anyone. It's definitely still a keeper.
Alternatives to this could be multi-tennis racquet bags, but I don't want to take the time to hunt & peck, buy & return/donate."

I like those kind of innovations, very thoughtful.

Good day. There is not always enough internet to go directly to the video platform. In order to convert Youtube video to mp3 file I am using Youtube-MP3.me. This is the best and most efficient converter I've come across.

I like the idea of that backpack cover and particularly so for the larger instruments, it’s an enabler (frees up a hand and carries the load easier) and it being a bit of a sloppy fit wouldn’t be as issue for me (that’s potentially carriage space for a few other needed items, and it don’t matter that much if the extra space isn’t used).

I’m mostly a Soprano player so if needed then perhaps a traditional large rucksack might hold a Soprano hard case for me. Whatever, thanks for sharing.

I have a nicely padded Fusion gig bag similar in construction. It won't hold a ukulele in a hard case though, just the uke and some accessories. But I do like the back pack style straps. Great for bicycling somewhere.
 
The advantage of lockdown for me is that a lot of videos and music online are freely available
