Calder case hinges: more fine metal engineering

We are constantly refining the designs of our cases to make them stronger, lighter or just work better. Recently we decided to use external stop hinges instead of internal leather stays to keep the lid open on our violin and guitar cases.

We designed a hinge that was light, strong and a fit with the overall look of Calder cases - they're machined out of solid aluminium and fitted with stainless steel screws. I'm delighted with the result - this is another step forward.
