    PRODUCT OVERVIEW
    The CRW720 Openback is the openback-specific version of the Crossrock Master Series wooden banjo case — built on the same 7-ply hardwood shell, 20mm foam padding, and 900g deep plush foundation, but with a compact body profile that matches the shape of an openback banjo instead of forcing it into a resonator-sized cavity. If you have ever placed your openback banjo in a resonator case and watched it rattle around with an inch of empty space where the resonator back would sit, you already understand the logic: an openback banjo deserves a case built to its dimensions, not an oversized universal compromise. The CRW720 Openback delivers exactly that — Master Series materials and construction in a body shape that fits. Fits openback banjo with 11.5"-12.5" diameter body.

    FEATURES
    • Purpose-Built for Openback — No Wasted Space Most "universal" banjo cases are built around resonator dimensions — a deep, wide body cavity sized for a 14" resonator back. Place an openback banjo in one and the instrument floats in a cavity with an inch or more of empty space where the resonator would sit, leaving the rim poorly supported. The CRW720 Openback solves this by using a body cavity shaped specifically for the openback profile: the barrel diameter is narrower, sized to the rim rather than a resonator, and the body depth is shallower to match the slimmer openback silhouette. The result is a case where the banjo sits snugly in its cavity with support around the rim — not rattling in a resonator-sized void — without needing to pile in extra padding strips to fill the gap.
    • 7-Ply Hardwood Shell — Built on a Stronger Foundation Most wooden instrument cases use 3-ply or 5-ply construction; the CRW720 uses seven cross-laminated layers of high-density hardwood. Each layer's grain runs at a right angle to the one below it, which distributes impact force across the entire shell instead of letting it crack along a single grain line. The result is a shell with far higher load-bearing capacity — if a flight case gets stacked on top of your banjo case in a trailer or cargo hold, the CRW720 will hold its shape when a thinner shell would flex or fail. For a case you trust with a valuable instrument, the foundation has to be right first. This one is.
    • Arched Top — Structure And Clearance in One Shape A flat-top case puts the bridge at the mercy of any pressure applied to the lid. An arched top solves two problems at once: the curve forms a natural structural arch that resists downward load more efficiently than a flat panel, and it creates extra internal clearance directly above the bridge — the single most vulnerable point on the banjo. If a heavy item is placed on top of the closed case, the arch channels that pressure around the bridge rather than through it. It is the same principle used in the highest-end hardshell cases in the stringed-instrument world, from violin to archtop guitar, applied here to the banjo.
    • 20mm Foam Padding — Twice the Industry Norm Open any standard wooden banjo case and measure the foam padding around the body cavity: it will almost certainly be around 10mm (0.4"). The CRW720 Openback ships with 20mm (0.8") of high-density closed-cell foam throughout the instrument cavity — literally double the protective layer. This is not a subtle difference. The extra 10mm means the banjo rides deeper in its foam cradle, with more material to absorb a drop, a trailer bump, or the kind of low-speed impact that a 10mm case would transmit straight through to the instrument. When protection is the whole point of a hard case, doubling the padding is doubling the point.
    • 900g Custom Deep Plush — Soft Where It Matters The foam does the shock absorption, but the fabric that touches your banjo matters just as much. The CRW720 Openback uses a 900g-weight custom deep plush — a significantly denser and longer-fiber velvet than the lightweight plush found in entry-level cases. At 900 grams per square meter, the pile is thick enough that the banjo's finish rests against a soft cushion of fiber, not against the foam underneath. The difference is immediately tactile: slide your hand across a standard plush, then across the CRW720 interior, and the depth is obvious. Over years of removing and replacing the banjo, that extra pile depth translates to fewer micro-scratches and less finish wear at contact points.
    • Color-Fast Fabric — Safe for Delicate Finishes A hidden risk with cheaper case interiors is dye migration: the fabric's color leaches out over time, especially in warm or humid conditions, and stains the instrument's finish. Nitrocellulose lacquer — still used on most high-end American banjos — is particularly vulnerable. Every textile surface inside the CRW720 Openback, from the deep plush to the neck cradle fabric, is treated with the highest-grade color fixation process so the dye is chemically locked into the fiber. The case will not bleed onto your banjo, period. For vintage instruments with original finishes that cannot be replaced, this is not a nice-to-have — it is a requirement.
    • Faux-Tweed Exterior With PVC Water-Resistant Backing The exterior is wrapped in a faux-tweed textile that captures the texture and visual warmth of traditional tweed — understated, classic, the kind of case that looks right next to a vintage banjo. But unlike real tweed, which frays, stains, and absorbs water, this version is woven for abrasion resistance and backed with a PVC water-resistant layer bonded to the underside of the fabric. Rain, a spilled drink, a damp loading dock — the outside may get wet, but the water stops at the PVC layer and never reaches the wood shell underneath. The case keeps its vintage character without vintage fragility.
    • Coarse-Grain Faux-Leather Handle — Grip That Works Leather handles on premium cases are a tradition, but smooth leather is a liability when your hands are wet. The CRW720 handle is cast in faux leather with a pronounced coarse-grain texture — the surface has enough grip that a sweaty palm does not slip. At the same time, the material is softer and more compliant than a hard plastic handle, so it absorbs some of the shock of walking with a heavy case and reduces pressure points on the fingers. It is a small detail that makes a real difference on a hot summer load-in after a four-hour gig.
    • Heavy-Gauge Hardware Plates — Reinforced at Every Anchor Point Latches, hinges, and foot caps are only as strong as the wood they are screwed into. On cases with thin mounting plates, the screws work loose over time and the holes strip, especially under repeated loading. The CRW720 Openback uses thick-gauge metal plates at every hardware anchor point, spreading the load across a wider area of the shell. The latches close with a solid, positive engagement, the hinge plates don't flex, and the rubber-capped feet stay firmly seated on the bottom of the case. It is the kind of overbuilding that pays off after the hundredth gig, not the first.
