The PREISSLER flight case manufactory in Berlin, Germany

Whether a small bell needs to be transported or a large and valuable concert harp needs to be shipped – it is always important that the instrument reaches its destination in an undamaged condition and can also be kept protected in storage. Many decades of experience with transporting and storing our own rental instruments inspired us to develop the hand-made PREISSLER flight case.

Handmade flight cases in best German quality. Thought out and built with experience and proud in Berlin.

From the smallest case to the special packaging of any objects, in all formats and many colors, we build the original PREISSLER flight case for you. If desired, you can get it with high-quality wheels – braked or unbraked, stackable, or with fold-out ramps, for timpani, marimba, vibraphone, harp, double bass, tuba, etc..

In contrast to many other manufacturers, we attach particular importance to the special interior design. An item can only be packaged safely if the packaging fits protectively around it like a tailor-made glove. The item to be packaged is safely and securely padded by hand with millimeter precision.

Every PREISSLER flight case is a unique piece of the finest craftsmanship

Before the construction of your flight case begins, we plan the entire project in detail with you and incorporate your individual wishes into the production. This is how your PREISSLER flight case, the safest transport protection for your valuable instrument, is created as a perfect symbiosis of your own ideas and our many years of experience.

New construction of a flight case for this harp

Harps are fundamentally highly sensitive and delicate instruments that can be damaged by moderate vibrations. This means that every harp – especially large concert harps / pedal harps – should only be transported in a professional flight case.

This beautiful and brand new CAMAC “Melusine” hook harp made of fine mahogany needed our help and a perfectly custom-made flight case. She looks happy to have it custom-fitted and hand-built by us!

Fits exactly into the flight case

There shouldn’t be a millimeter of space here; the sensitive feet of the instrument fit precisely and yet are gently padded. This protects the harp’s feet from damage and scratches during packaging.

We can draw on a lot of our experience, especially when fitting the sensitive harp bases. Thanks to this, nothing wobbles with our design! Nevertheless, the fit is minimal and therefore weight-saving.

Flight case bottom

The instrument is well protected against damage caused by impacts or even tipping over. We specifically tested this flight case to prevent it from tipping over. Thanks to its special and well thought-out design, it survived without any damage.

And a look into the inner workings of the flight case hood reveals: the neck is fitted with the same millimeter precision as the entire instrument. This is the only way the instrument can survive without damage even if the flight case tips over.

Packed in a hand-made PREISSLER FLIGHTCASE with side scratch protection and 4 blue-wheels – two with brakes, the harp can now travel around the world…

Flight cases for music stands

This flight case utilises our long-standing experience in the packing and transportation of music stands and stand lights. Each of these hand-crafted flight cases holds 16 stands and 16 lights. Each stand is dismantled and placed in a dedicated compartment to prevent it from being scratched or damaged. The stand lights are attached to hangers inside the flight case.

There is of course also a compartment for spare lights and small miscellaneous items. And the flight cases can even be stacked to save space on-board the transport vehicle!

Flight case for double bass – compact version

Based on our experience in transporting: the smallest PREISSLER double bass flight case! Its exterior dimensions are extremely compact, yet it still offers space for a stand, a bow compartment, a lockable compartment for accessories, sheet music, etc. We also offer optional extras: All-round cold insulation; a built-in thermometer & hygrometer with exterior display readout; shells built-in to the lid to stack multiple cases.

Flight case for double bass – large version

Our double bass flight case for double basses of all sizes! The interior brackets can be adjusted so that any instrument size fits in this flight case. There are also side compartments for accessories (can also be locked if desired), a bow compartment, a pocket built into the door for cleaning cloths, rosin, etc. and, if desired, a compartment for a double bass stand at the top left (here in the picture a double bass stand from KOLBERG).

The case is extremely cold-insulated thanks to a special inner coating so that the double bass can be transported intact even in adverse conditions. An optionally hygrometer and thermometer, which can be read from the outside when the case is closed, provide information about the internal climate of the case. This means your double bass can travel safely around the world.
