    Howard Wiseman’s journey to school consisted of walking two miles and catching a train in the rush hour every morning. This was fine apart from the three days on which he had to carry his bassoon! At this point the journey would become a nightmare. As a young teenager the weight of carrying the bassoon and the painful handle constantly digging into his hands seemed an unfair punishment for playing such a lovely instrument. Furthermore, the large traditional bassoon case was never welcomed by other passengers on a packed, busy train. As a solution to the problem Howard made himself a case! The small tubular case was less than half the volume of any regular case and could be easily slung over the shoulder or worn as a backpack. Problem solved! Shortly after, Howard’s bassoon teacher commissioned Howard to make the same case for him. Being Principal bassoon in the English Chamber orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Robin O’Neill was Howard’s perfect first customer!

    Before long the “Wiseman” tubular bassoon case had spread throughout the professional circuit in London. By the time Howard was 17 cases had been bought by Principal bassoonists in the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Paris Opera and a large number of major European orchestras. It all happened because of the bassoon! The very compact design, stylish appearance and superb protection for the instruments was soon noticed by other instrumentalists. Demand from all other instruments in the woodwind section quickly escalated. As is often the case, someone’s practical solution to a problem, quickly turned into a business. 

    To date Wiseman now make for pretty much all instruments in the Orchestra and beyond. The wealth of experience and expansion has resulted in the creation of our latest NEW Wooden range of cases designed specifically for sale through shops to spread the Wiseman case for musicians of all stages of their career!  

  • In June 2022  Wiseman released its brand New and most eco-friendly range of cases in its collection. This range consists of 10 of our most popular cases from the leather/bespoke range. Made from aircraft birch plywood from sustainable forestry. This range of cases are stained in five beautiful colours and then yacht-varished with an added neoprene seal for water tightness. This construction is extremely light, crush resistant and very durable.  

    This range of cases won “Best in Show” at the NAMM show 2022! 

  • Wiseman cases are known for offering cases that provide the very best protection for musical instruments. All of our cases have a lifetime guarantee and we stand by our products. Several Leading musical insurance companies encourage the use of a Wiseman case to their clients; Heritage insurance in the USA actually offer a discount on the premium for any instrument that is housed in a Wiseman Case.
