DescriptionThe Freer Percussion CLS Classic Large Soft Case is a premium, high-capacity percussion case designed for professionals who need both durability and flexibility. Patterned after its smaller sibling, the CSS model, this case matches the size of Freer’s former “medium” hard case but offers a lightweight, soft-sided design for easier transport. Measuring 20″ × 13″ × 8″, it’s built to hold everything a timpanist or percussionist requires, all while remaining easy to carry and exceptionally tough.Materials and Build QualityCrafted from the same heavy-duty materials as the rest of the Freer Percussion soft case range, the CLS offers long-lasting protection and structure. Reinforced sides provide extra stability, while the outer fabric resists wear, moisture, and tearing. Despite its generous capacity, the bag weighs surprisingly little, making it perfect for touring musicians and those who frequently transport their gear. The craftsmanship reflects Freer’s commitment to building products that last a lifetime.Design and FunctionalityThis thoughtfully designed case features original Freer stick holsters built into the lid for quick and secure access to your most-used mallets. Behind the lid, two thin storage pouches hold sheet music or notes. A lightweight flexible divider, secured with Velcro, allows you to customize the interior—creating separate spaces or one large compartment as needed. The four primary compartments provide ample room for all mallet types, accessories, and small percussion tools.Storage and CapacityThe CLS Classic Large Soft Case easily holds between 60 and 70 pairs of mallets, depending on size and model. A zippered interior pouch offers a place for less frequently used sticks or accessories like mufflers, tuners, or pencils. On the exterior, a second zippered pocket provides additional storage for personal items or quick-access tools. Adjustable lid stays ensure the case remains open at your preferred angle, whether set on a chair or flat surface. Although designed to function best when placed on a chair, the case is strong enough to stand on its own when needed.Comfort and PortabilityWith a reinforced shoulder strap and robust carry handles, the CLS makes transport effortless. The soft-sided design keeps the weight low without compromising protection. Musicians who want a lighter, more flexible case that can still handle professional demands will find this model ideal. Whether for stage use, touring, or storage, it offers the perfect blend of structure, comfort, and portability.Key FeaturesOuter Dimensions: 20″ × 13″ × 7″Inner Dimensions: 19.5″ × 12.5″ × 6.5″Holds 60–70 pairs of mallets depending on sizeReinforced sides and durable fabric for long-term protectionBuilt-in Freer stick holsters and music pouches in the lidLightweight flexible divider with Velcro for adjustable layoutInterior and exterior zippered accessory pocketsAdjustable lid stays and included shoulder strapDesigned to stand alone or function best when placed on a chairMore InformationExplore more professional percussion transport solutions in our Mallet Bags collection.
