Protection Racket 26" Gong Case
Protection Racket's 26" Gong Case (catalogue no. 7279–44) is purpose–built to transport large orchestral gongs safely between venues. Engineered to the same structural rigour as the brand's Proline drum cases, this cylindrical hard case accommodates internal dimensions of 27.5" × 3.5", providing clearance for hardware and mounting fixtures. The distinguishing feature is a set of fully adjustable, padded ergonomic rucksack straps—a practical consideration for percussionists who need hands–free portability without sacrificing protection.
The case's design reflects heavy–use durability expected in touring and ensemble settings. Its rigid shell construction mirrors Proline specifications, meaning the outer profile is sized around the instrument diameter (26") while internal capacity exceeds that figure to accommodate the gong's edge binding and suspension hardware. Padding density and strap ergonomics are calibrated to distribute load evenly across shoulders, critical when transporting instruments that can weigh 8–15 kg. The 3.5" depth provides sufficient width to prevent lateral movement during transit.
