Altieri Instrument Bags created the Backpack for Musical Instruments 25 years ago. We continue to make gigbags and casecovers that combine the quality of our USA made originals, the technology of the 21st century, and the craftsmanship of custom design and construction.

Some of the best mountaineering backpack designs have been born in the mountains of Colorado; Altieri Instrument Bags builds on this tradition to contribute to the health, comfort and safety of the world’s professional musicians with our backpacks and shoulder bags.

Large compartments carry all the survival materials a serious musician needs – orchestra folders, collapsible stands and umbrellas, even water bottles and symphony clothes.

Our designs include specialized pockets for everything from bocals, mouthpieces, and reeds to tuners and tuning forks. Some bags even slide onto a rolling cart for ultimate freedom.

The hike with your instruments will always be a pleasure, whether you travel by foot, car, subway, bicycle, scooter, or even motorcycle.
