case definition and meaning

What is a "case"?

A case is a protective container or enclosure designed to protect a musical instrument when it is not being played. For instruments such as guitars, violins, or pianos, the case helps prevent damage from impacts, dust, and moisture. It is typically made from sturdy materials like wood, plastic, or fabric and often includes padding or cushioning to absorb shocks. The case also makes it easier to transport the instrument safely.
