In practice
- In the CelloGard a cello laid down stays safe even when someone knocks it: the instrument lies in it on its side and stays where it is.
- Typical situations are rehearsal breaks, the orchestra pit, the teaching room and a household with children or pets.
- Neoprene sleeves are included, except with the version without sleeve; they go between instrument and plastic.
- It was developed by the cellist Bob Ng over more than a hundred prototypes, US patent 10,347,225.

Protection and stability
The CelloGard takes the resting cello by its upper rib and secures it in a lying position. Its base deliberately has no rubber feet: when knocked, the unit slides sideways across the floor and dissipates the force, whereas rubber feet would create more friction and raise the risk of tipping.
Our experience
We recommend the CelloGard for the orchestra pit, the music school and the music room, wherever a cello needs to lie safely during a break.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the CelloGard have no rubber feet?
Without rubber it slides sideways when knocked and dissipates the force; rubber feet would create more friction and raise the risk of tipping.
