Hardcase HNP14SO - 14" Hard Case (Orange)

Hardcase HNP14SO - 14" Hard Case (Orange)

The Hardcase HNP14SO is a professional 14" snare drum case, manufactured in the UK from heavy-duty rotomolded polyethylene. Its waterproof construction, stackable design, and telescopic shell-hugging lid provide reliable protection for touring, school, and rental use. Foam padding in the base and lid suspends the drum within the case, minimizing vibration and friction. Exterior webbing straps with buckles and a soft-grip handle facilitate secure closure and comfortable carrying, while an ID badge helps you quickly locate your gear.

This model is optimized for 14" snare drums with standard depths (5", 5.5", 6.5" and 8"). It features a side recess to accommodate the throw-off /bordoneray and hoops without forcing, maintaining the actual internal measurements: internal diameter 43.9 cm (with recess up to 49.7 cm ) and adjustable depth from 15.0 to 22.9 cm thanks to the telescopic system. Finished in high-visibility orange to identify your backline at a glance.
