You should partner up with an ukulele company and design the perfect travel bag. I travel quite a bit too and sometimes leave my ukulele behind because I would rather keep it safe :(
I found a good solution, I bought an old violin case on eBay for 16$. It perfectly fits for my Ibanez concert uke. It is made of wood and gives really good protection. Protective, custom made, concert ukulele cases are very expensive, so this is probably the best solution, but make sure it fits to your personal ukulele.
Tano Bokämper Well, when I bought the exact same Ibanez concert Ukulele I think you’re talking about, I ised the Gigbag I got with it. I traveled for about 10 hours and it worked like a charm soo..But the Violin case solution seems good and cheap!
I recently got a Concert Ukelele from Journey Instruments (I love it) and it came with a killer travel case. Protective, sturdy, strap built in, and lots of storage space. I flew last week, and it worked and carried on without issue or incidence.
I would suggest going to a foam rubber molder. The same type of foam they use to ship your new ukulele. Have the foam formed to fit the two ukuleles together, as tight and small as possible. Then slip them into a carry on size backpack.
I’m a flight attendant and travel with my inexpensive concert uke just to keep up with practicing! My case isn’t the best at protection thus traveling with a cheaper uke but I just use extra caution.
my dad lives in costa rica and I got to his house every summer. I live in the USA. I had gotten a $250 ukulele and I'm in LOVE! My dad is a musician and he told be to bring my ukulele. I have concerns about traveling with it. I do not have money for an expensive case. Would it be safe to possibly put it in a carry on suitcase and add blankets and sheets around it? Or could I put it into a backpack and keep it with me?
I travel with a custom ukulele in its hard case placed in a backpack, placing the case in the overhead storage and the backpack under the seat in front or the entire setup in the overhead space. The backpack holds the extra stuff. The neck portion extends out of the backpack and the body portion is in the backpack, works great and no worries with soft side and bulky type cases.
Taimane, you should get a reunion blues case. It runs for a little over $100 but it is light weight, protective, has a front pocket, and comes with backpack straps. this case can survive a 4 story drop test. I have this case and it has been the best one I've ever had.
The Reunion Blues Continental Case is the best! I traveled several times to Europe with it and it was great. Also, best ergonomic straps of any case!!!
First let me say that you are so fascinating and talented. I think that you have enough power to have someone make the right case for you, and therefore for others too. I think that someone like Carlos Santana would know who you can reach out too. You are likely not alone, needing a practical, relatively light, and protective case.
The Ritter bag is also one of my favorites. I was hanging out at the factory with Chris Kamaka years ago when Jake Shimabukuro came in and Chris introduced me to him. Jake showed me his Ritter and I've been using it since that time. Much better than the black pressboard case my uke came with originally!
@@chappykenek4504 Gosh, I wish I had a better answer because it's been a long time since I bought mine - and I got at the shop in Honolulu that Jake told me about. But you might try emailing the company and asking them who is carrying their product nearest to you: ritter-bags.com/ Good luck!
Sadly with all carriers that work out of the United Kingdom - we dont have any policy that will allow cases this big through in the cabin. They 'might' allow them through - but they might not - so in my experience with UK carriers, if it's bigger than a soprano - you might not get it through. You might fancy an argument -but hey - do you want to be dragged off?
Yes- but he was referring to that song that was written about United Airlines destoying that dudes guitars. Its called 'United Breaks Guitars'. It'a about airline travel with musical instruments
I bought a Cordoba 35T and it came with my favorite case so far. Its a hard/soft case that is very light and not too bulky. It has a small near useless front pocket but a compartment under the neck of where the uke sits which is nice. It would be perfect if it had bigger front pocket. It makes me feel like my ukulele is safe.
I have just bought a kanile'a from o'hau and the case it came in was perfect for travel. Lightweight but super strong and padded. They may do a twin case but I think it would be too big
Eric Nilsson- music teacher I think for the long run, Bernadette is spot on! For the short-term, a Uke Crazy brand lightweight hard foam case with straps might be of use. The straps can be made to function like a backpack. Some people have had durability issues, but I have been bringing my tenor uke case to work every day for 9 months with no problems.
Taimane, here’s a case I’ve used since 2014: hard (eps foam) but light (3lbs) with pockets and backpack straps. Pro Tec MX218 MAX Tenor Ukulele Case Black Mo Dere
Love your playing. For cost effectiveness, I like the Crossrock. Sturdy ABS, I've dropped mine twice. Not a mark on it, and my ukulele is fine. And they are between 70-100$, in soprano, concert, and tenor. Come in 6 different colors. Not sponsored by them, I just like them and use them. And they have fittings for backpack straps.
The Crossrock Hybrid case (400 series) is nearly perfect!The only thing missing is a large pocket, it only has a small one inside. But it is *very* strong; it's made from aluminum, covered in plastic.Instead of clasps, it has a zipper, but it is a real hard case - but about half the weight of regular hard cases, because of the material. It only comes with one strap (although they may add a second one in future, I think), but it has attachments for two straps, so if you add another one, you can wear it as a backpack. I also would *very* much prefer not to check my ukulele, but if I had to, this case would be ok I think.
Taimane, I work for an airline and take my mandolin along with me on trips. Check into the Levy's leather case. It is heavier than a gig-bag but nothing like your Calton. The leather is fairly stiff, it is well padded and it has back pack straps. Unfortunately, it is a single instrument case. I hope this helps, keep up the good work Glen
I've travelled to Japan and the neighbor islands using a Aranjuez Standard ukulele case. I've never had a problem getting through TSA with this case or storing it in the overhead compartment. Might be hard to find considering that the makers are Japanese. More notable people who use this case are Honoka & Azita, Chris Salvador, Alto, and Jody Kamisato. Check out my ukulele quartet by searching "4U ukulele" in the search bar!
Hello Taimane, First of all you are the one who made me know the Ukulele! Thank you! That was years ago! And still you are one of the best Ukulele players on this planet. Back to the case, I tried almost all cases :) For straps, pockets and padded well that you can travel safely with is - Pro Tec MX218 Max - and I have 4 of em! Traveling every month all over the world never disappointed me. And the best protection but no pockets sorry! Is - Crossrock CRF Fiberglass case - it's an awesome hard case. And btw, there's a fusion double UKe case 👍 Keep Playing.. Stay safe, God Bless 🌹 Aloha!
Plus : For a string winder, check D'addario Pro Winder with a cutter 😍 and bridge pin puller if you'll have a Kanilea one day ! Will make life easier 😊👍 And for a file and buffers : Check strings by mail nail care kits specially their crystal glass file! And they sell Oasis nail shaper which is an awesome tool! 🌹
Hello Taimane ! Try the Mono case M80 for Ukulele. It s super light and protective ! Serious stuff. with all the major airlines I took in years , i always carried on with me in the plane ! I never check in my ukuleles....
I really admire you and I watch your videos almost everyday and try to pick things up as much as possible. Your tutorial videos are very helpful. Could you please do a video on strumming patterns? Thanks :) Love. xx
You are absolutely fantastic! 1.Does the thinner ukuleles still sound just as nice as thicker Ukes? . Does it affect the sound? 2. And does a pick up mean electric plugged into power to use with a actual amp? . 3. What is the difference with your Taimane signature acoustic plus ukes and the five string acoustic plus . Does the five string have something extra other , than the obvious low g and five strings? 4. I know your signature ukes have effects but can you also plug in power to use with a amp to amplify / make louder the sound . am confused with ones with effects are they still plug in electric?
Nice review, very informative. thank you for everything you share. it really does help the casual ukulele players. any suggestions on pickups, transducers and EQ options ?
Check out Lanikai Ukulele's Hard bag!!! I've had this bag for years, used it while flying, and never had any issues. It's really lightweight and is a strong, durable case. Inside your ukulele is protected by soft foam which helps secure your instrument and prevent it from moving around and what-not. I REALLY RECOMMEND THEM!!! Much love xx
Almost nobody makes hard cases with backpack straps. I saw one such solution, but expensive (about $ 1,500), as made of Kevlar and probably not very comfortable because of the hard cover. I think the best option for you will be buying a hard case made of modern lightweight materials and separately purchase the backpack straps, then sewing soft "clothes" on housing case and handles sewn on the back. It will be practical (because "clothes" can be removed for washing) and more convenient - softer to the touch on the back. Sorry for my English.
These guys are making interesting cases, but I do not know if they are light: www.guardiancases.com/cv032m.html Lightweight modern materials in order probably from lightest and most expensive is kevlar, carbon fiber, fiberglass and thermoplastic. Separately, the handles on the back you can find in google under "backpack straps." A clothes can sew aunt, neighbor or friend. :-)
I travel with my uke in a cheap solid case. But, here's the but, I put it inside a hybrid backpack that also contains my t-shirts, jeans, shoes etc etc.
Tai, you can almost never find a hard case with pockets. Many hardshell violin cases also have an exterior bag with pockets, (with carrying straps), but I haven't seen many of these in the ukulele world. But, if there is some lonely case designer looking to have a song dedicated to him, you gave him the spec sheet. The balance is always between lightweight and maximum protection. High-tech materials help bring those two competing things together, but it's still a choice between comfort and protection.
I wonder if something light and strong could be fabricated with Carbon Composite? I know there are "makers" out there who tinker with such materials (probably most make surf boards and guitars out of carbon composite, but it would be interesting to find crafters who can build small instrument cases for musicians who fly. The "check-in" is the terror of most instrumentalists who carry valuable "tools" on business.
Taimane have you used The kamaka cases that come with the standard kamaka ukuleles ? I know you are looking for a gig bag i just want to know your toughts on them
That custom Calton case looks super protective. It looks large in the video we're you able to carry that case on and stow it in the overhead bin? Great video love hearing about gear and what works for people!
Your play is always the best Many musicians upload tutorials Your tokata performance is a song that many fans like and want to play. If you upload the tutorial for that song, will not more people remember you and play ukulele happily?
Yes! The Reunion Blues Continental Case is the best! I traveled several times to Europe with it and it was great. Also, best ergonomic straps of any case!!!
If you overlook the brand what do you think of the Lanikai sidekick hard bag? ;) It doesn't hold two ukes, though, but has a hard frame, a pocket, and backpack straps. I have the gray tribal print where the backpack straps are padded compared to what's currently shown on their site. I think these were available prior to Fusion coming into the scene, too. lanikaiukuleles.com/product/lanikai-sidekick-printed-ukulele-hard-bag/
What I've also seen in guitar players - long fingernails on the right, short fingernails on the left - Taimane has taken it to the extreme. And I really hope those fingernails hold up in the way she plays!
I like my Fender Mini Strat Bag they call it. It may have been designed for a mandolin. It is light and nice and plenty big for my baritone uke. I hate zipping a bag that is just big enough for the instrument. I keep it with me in the seat. Holding it makes me worry less about hard protection and more about weight. Yes, I always worry about the dreaded flight attendant but they do have a special law for musicians. If push comes to shove, there is FAA Rule 403...
From DOT .... "The rule requires that each U.S. carrier subject to this regulation allow a passenger to carry into the cabin and stow a small musical instrument, such as a violin or a guitar, in a suitable baggage compartment, such as the overhead bin or a closet, or under the seats, in accordance with FAA safety regulations and the carrier’s FAA-approved carry-on baggage program." If you want to see the whole rule check my Rob Kunkel Fb Timeline. Great video...Thanks! ⛩🌴🎶〰
Hey girl, good question! Slack means to loosen the strings by tuning them down...Tuning down you'll hear the strings get lower and lower. Hope that helps. :)
Ok Thank you soooooo much I am leaving on a trip next week and i want to bring my ukulele and now that i know what that means i can bring it! Thank you
First time I saw you performing, honestly, I didn’t like you. Very stagey. But then I saw your personal videos on RUclips and thought, this is someone I can be friends with. This video, totally, I connected. I look forward to seeing you live! By the way, flight regulations are that instruments are not checked in, ever. You hand it over to the flight attendant and they stow it safely, since before Bob Dylan, that’s how old that standard is. -- Thought I was done, but I’m not. Basic physics. At sea level, the air pressure is about fifteen pounds; that is the weight of the atmosphere on you, on the ground. In a pressurized airplane cabin, it’s about half, maybe eight pounds. In the cargo hold, if you weren’t in reasonable health, you wouldn’t be able to breath; you would suffocate and die; air pressure is what allows us to actually get the oxygen into our lungs, blood, and so forth. I don’t know on Ukulele, but on a guitar, the tension is about 150 pounds of the strings pulling on the bridge. Bicycle tires can explode at altitude if not depressurized. Any material, depressurized, is softer and so what may be able to take 150 pounds on the ground may need to take double that at altitude.
I'd reckon that lot of small inter-island flights might not have the overhead space, but if a roller bag or suitcase can fit in the overhead, so can your ukulele case. They have to, by law, allow you to put your case in the overhead if there is space --- even if it means that someone who comes after you has to check their suitcase. Check the American Federation of Musicians website for detailed information (they helped to write the laws). www.afm.org/what-we-are-doing/travel-resources/afm-travel-kit/

14 pound case for your 2 pound ukulele? They should add 'spinner' wheels and an extendable handle like hard-sided luggage. Lol!

Taimane, the baggage area on a plane is pressurized. Otherwise everybody's stuff would get pretty messed up.

Hello Taimane ! Try the Mono case M80 for Ukulele. It s super light and protective ! Serious stuff. with all the major airlines I took in years , i always carried on with me in the plane ! I never check in my ukuleles....
I love Mono. Thanks for the info.
I really admire you and I watch your videos almost everyday and try to pick things up as much as possible. Your tutorial videos are very helpful. Could you please do a video on strumming patterns? Thanks :) Love. xx
You are absolutely fantastic!
1.Does the thinner ukuleles still
sound just as nice as thicker Ukes? .
Does it affect the sound?
2. And does a pick up mean electric plugged into power to use with a actual amp? .
3. What is the difference with your Taimane signature acoustic plus ukes and the five string acoustic plus .
Does the five string have something extra other , than the obvious low g and five strings?
4. I know your signature ukes have effects but can you also plug in power to use with a amp to
amplify / make louder the sound .
am confused with ones with effects are they still plug in electric?
The Kala case is hard with backpack straps. Also pretty lightweight. There is a front pocket as well.
They also have the internal storage pocket.
The straps are not padded though, just so you know. I just recently saw the tennor case because the soprano I was looking for was out of stock. lol
thank you so much taimane you are awesome!!
Nice review, very informative.
thank you for everything you share.
it really does help the casual ukulele players.
any suggestions on pickups, transducers and EQ options ?

These guys are making interesting cases, but I do not know if they are light:
www.guardiancases.com/cv032m.html
Lightweight modern materials in order probably from lightest and most expensive is kevlar, carbon fiber, fiberglass and thermoplastic.
Separately, the handles on the back you can find in google under "backpack straps." A clothes can sew aunt, neighbor or friend. :-)
I travel with my uke in a cheap solid case. But, here's the but, I put it inside a hybrid backpack that also contains my t-shirts, jeans, shoes etc etc.
Tai, you can almost never find a hard case with pockets. Many hardshell violin cases also have an exterior bag with pockets, (with carrying straps), but I haven't seen many of these in the ukulele world. But, if there is some lonely case designer looking to have a song dedicated to him, you gave him the spec sheet. The balance is always between lightweight and maximum protection. High-tech materials help bring those two competing things together, but it's still a choice between comfort and protection.
thanks Tai.....going to boston soon
I use a road runner case....its soft but very protective....sorry no link......string winder
I love the puppy cushion besides you
good tips for travelling. One correction though, aircraft are pressurized throughout , not just the passenger compartment. Thx
i would love to see you live!!
I wonder if something light and strong could be fabricated with Carbon Composite? I know there are "makers" out there who tinker with such materials (probably most make surf boards and guitars out of carbon composite, but it would be interesting to find crafters who can build small instrument cases for musicians who fly.
The "check-in" is the terror of most instrumentalists who carry valuable "tools" on business.
Taimane have you used The kamaka cases that come with the standard kamaka ukuleles ? I know you are looking for a gig bag i just want to know your toughts on them
That custom Calton case looks super protective. It looks large in the video we're you able to carry that case on and stow it in the overhead bin?
Great video love hearing about gear and what works for people!
Ah thank you!!! very helpful.
I use a UKE CRAZY case and it's hard and there's back pack straps plus the case is extremely light
great video thank you!! I am a beginner and it is great to know what to expect when travelling. Q: what does it mean "slack your strings?"
What brand cutaway is that? Gorgeous!
do you reckon id be able to take my ukulele on my school residential trip my teacher (that does my ukulele club) is going
Grande......bravissima.....
They should make ukulele cases like those violin cases that are hard shelled but not too heavy and have space for extra stuff
Your play is always the best
Many musicians upload tutorials
Your tokata performance is a song that many fans like and want to play.
If you upload the tutorial for that song, will not more people remember you and play ukulele happily?
Você é tão bonitinha!!! You are so beatiful !!!
Great insights, Taimane! We'll keep them in mind for our next one 😊
have you ever try uke crazy case? I've made a lot flights with it with no problem. I changed straps for a backpack straps too.
Have you tried “Knox Gear Ukulele Padded Protective Carrying Case”? I’m thinking of buying it, but can’t find any reviews on RUclips.
opps, someone else also mentioned the Mono. I do have one and it has great protection and is light.
I want to put my pono soprano in a suitcase within the ukulele case and check it in...any worries concering temperature?! 😱
How about Reunion Blues Continental Ukulele Case?
Yes! The Reunion Blues Continental Case is the best! I traveled several times to Europe with it and it was great. Also, best ergonomic straps of any case!!!
I am pretty sure they are very good. Just watch this video: ruclips.net/video/03JU695A6hE/видео.html

Can you please link the ukuleles that you play because i want one that looks just like yours? Please
I used to just stuff my ukulele in a huge suitcase and cushion it with clothes... sounds stupid but it worked
Hi Taimane, I would like to send you my new unique strings. How can I contact you?
U can use flight ukulele case
Hmm, i planned on bringing it as handbagege, would that be a posibility ?
the string thingie is a string winder.
What I've also seen in guitar players - long fingernails on the right, short fingernails on the left - Taimane has taken it to the extreme. And I really hope those fingernails hold up in the way she plays!

Can u tell us about your pedals effects?
Taimani did you ever find the perfect case.
would it be safe for me to travel a 10 hour car ride with my ukulele in a case?
What brand of baritone ukulele do you have? Thank you.
I like my Fender Mini Strat Bag they call it. It may have been designed for a mandolin. It is light and nice and plenty big for my baritone uke. I hate zipping a bag that is just big enough for the instrument. I keep it with me in the seat. Holding it makes me worry less about hard protection and more about weight. Yes, I always worry about the dreaded flight attendant but they do have a special law for musicians. If push comes to shove, there is FAA Rule 403...
From DOT .... "The rule requires that each U.S. carrier subject to this regulation allow a passenger to carry into the cabin and stow a small musical instrument, such as a violin or a guitar, in a suitable baggage compartment, such as the overhead bin or a closet, or under the seats, in accordance with FAA safety regulations and the carrier’s FAA-approved carry-on baggage program." If you want to see the whole rule check my Rob Kunkel Fb Timeline.
Great video...Thanks! ⛩🌴🎶〰
It's a string winder🙂
what's your tattoo mean . it's beatiful
Wondering how much your Calton weighs. This is an interesting perspective on case materials. www.musafia.com/editorial18.html .
Have you tried a Mono Uke bag?
I've got a protech max concert ukulele case. It's awesome and does a great job keeping my Uke safe and sound. Good investment to protect my investment
Thank you, Taimane! Definitely look here ... monocase.com. Would love that dedication. ;)
Kanile'a Canvas Case?

what does it mean to slack the strings?
Hey girl, good question! Slack means to loosen the strings by tuning them down...Tuning down you'll hear the strings get lower and lower. Hope that helps. :)
Ok Thank you soooooo much I am leaving on a trip next week and i want to bring my ukulele and now that i know what that means i can bring it! Thank you
What Uke is that?
First time I saw you performing, honestly, I didn’t like you. Very stagey. But then I saw your personal videos on RUclips and thought, this is someone I can be friends with. This video, totally, I connected.
I look forward to seeing you live!
By the way, flight regulations are that instruments are not checked in, ever. You hand it over to the flight attendant and they stow it safely, since before Bob Dylan, that’s how old that standard is.

Thought I was done, but I’m not. Basic physics. At sea level, the air pressure is about fifteen pounds; that is the weight of the atmosphere on you, on the ground. In a pressurized airplane cabin, it’s about half, maybe eight pounds. In the cargo hold, if you weren’t in reasonable health, you wouldn’t be able to breath; you would suffocate and die; air pressure is what allows us to actually get the oxygen into our lungs, blood, and so forth.
I don’t know on Ukulele, but on a guitar, the tension is about 150 pounds of the strings pulling on the bridge. Bicycle tires can explode at altitude if not depressurized. Any material, depressurized, is softer and so what may be able to take 150 pounds on the ground may need to take double that at altitude.
You Can Buy a Flight Ukulele You Can Bring it while you travel without worrying About it So you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on gigbags😊
I l😍ve you Taimane! you are amazing! I hope you react ☺️
Have you tried buying 2 tickets on a plane? One for you, and for your ukulele?
If I was made of $$ that would be the best ;)
I'd reckon that lot of small inter-island flights might not have the overhead space, but if a roller bag or suitcase can fit in the overhead, so can your ukulele case. They have to, by law, allow you to put your case in the overhead if there is space --- even if it means that someone who comes after you has to check their suitcase. Check the American Federation of Musicians website for detailed information (they helped to write the laws). www.afm.org/what-we-are-doing/travel-resources/afm-travel-kit/
Your name states Olympic Gymnast so that's why I asked.
Thanks. I wish this was international!
