Precious case
for the flute
From Idea to creation
Jasmine Choi the international expert
The market didn’t offer a solution that would meet the expectations! The Manufaktur KALB took on this challenge and created together with the artist a unique and precious case, which fits perfectly for the beloved flute!
Creation
To reach the perfection of the actual case a serious investment and a number of trails and prototypes were needed. Many of the components like for the closing mechanism had to be developed and crafted at the Manufaktur KALB. The result is craftmanship of its own league.

Jasmine Choi
Jasmine Choi was using a standard case for her flute, which was bulky and rather heavy. On top of this it was not a proper protection for her beloved instrument since it was not individually crafted so the flute could move inside. Travelling is a daily routine for Jasmine and therefore she had this dream of the perfect case, which would be smaller, lighter and fit perfectly for her instrument. This would allow her to travel more freely without extra bag since it would even fit into her hand bag when she goes to a concert.
After a 12 month developing phase Elmar Kalb presented a solution to made this dream come true. Countless working hours, a lot of experience and extraordinary craftmanship were needed to fulfil this lifelong dream.
The perfect case for her flute was created:
- Perfect size – individually crafted for the flute
Not a single mm larger than necessary (4 cm – 1,57 in — shorter than the standard case) - Light weighted – the smart combination of materials and the extensive knowledge resulted in a 537 g (1,18 lb) light case (vs. 850 g (1,87 lb) for a standard case)
- Perfect protection – no moving – no shaking any more.
Inside the case every detail is individually adapted to the instrument so that it fits perfectly and flute is well protected from moving. - Emotional design – the design is subtle yet elegant and it truly different to any other case. The haptic experience is surprising since one would not expect the lightness of this solid and handcrafted case.
