    PRODUCT OVERVIEW
    The CRA980BJ is a flight-ready ABS banjo case built for traveling musicians who carry their instrument on planes. A full-length, injection-molded TSA-accepted lock is built into the case body — so you can check your banjo without attaching a separate padlock, and TSA inspectors can open and relock it without cutting your lock. A shortened neck cradle lets the same case seat both a long-neck 5-string banjo and a short-neck tenor banjo, so players who double on both instruments only need one case. The 14.25" universal barrel fits most resonator 5-string and tenor banjos, and a black shell with a dark-green interior gives the case a classic bluegrass look.

    FEATURES
    • Built-In TSA Lock — Fly With Your Banjo Unlike clip-on padlocks that TSA inspectors will cut off during baggage screening, the CRA980BJ's lock is fully injection-molded into the case body. The lock housing and latch are one integrated unit — cleaner to look at, faster to open and close, and genuinely flight-ready. TSA agents can open the case with their master key for inspection and relock it without damaging anything, so your banjo travels secured the entire trip. For gigging musicians who fly to festivals, cruises, and international tours, this is the lock that actually works the way a travel lock should.
    • Dual-Fit Neck Cradle — One Case, Two Instruments Most banjo cases are built for either a 5-string or a tenor — the two neck lengths are different enough that a cradle shaped for one usually fights the other. The CRA980BJ solves this with a shortened neck cradle that lets the shorter tenor neck seat correctly while the longer 5-string neck still finds its position. The trade-off is a smaller accessory compartment in the neck block, but the payoff is a single case that covers both instruments — ideal for players who run a 5-string bluegrass set and a tenor trad session with the same flight case. One case, one carry-on slot, two banjos covered.
    • Ergonomic Handle Built for Heavy Banjos A resonator banjo in a hard case is heavy, and carrying it one-handed after a sweaty gig is exactly when a case slips. The CRA980BJ's handle is oversized and contoured, with four finger grooves molded into the underside. The grooves lock your fingers in place so the case doesn't rotate or slide in a damp grip, and the larger contact area spreads the load across your hand — which noticeably reduces the perceived weight on long walks through airports and venues.
    • Molded ABS Shell With EPS Liner The shell is injection-molded ABS — tough, impact-resistant, and far lighter than a wooden case of the same strength. Inside, a custom-molded EPS liner cradles the banjo body and neck, surfaced with a dense, low-pile plush velvet that won't pill or shed onto your hardware. The EPS is shaped to keep the resonator back and the bridge suspended away from the shell, so even if the case takes a hit in transit the force goes into the foam, not your banjo.
    • Universal 14.25" Barrel — And When You Need Padding The internal barrel diameter is 14.25", sized to clear most resonator 5-string banjos (Mastertone-style instruments and similar) and most tenor banjos with resonator. If your banjo has a smaller rim — many open-backs and some lighter tenors — the body will sit loosely and you should add Removable Padding Strips to take up the gap and stop the instrument shifting. Removable padding is not included with this case so that players whose banjo already fits snugly don't pay for foam they won't use; it's available separately as a low-cost accessory.
