FIEDLER Backpack System
FIEDLER Backpack System for Instrument Cases
A modular carrying system designed to make transporting an instrument case more comfortable. The FIEDLER Backpack System combines well-padded shoulder straps with optional support accessories including a detachable wedge cushion, hip belt, music bag and cello board/endpin stopper.
Shoulder straps — the basic element of the FIEDLER Backpack System
Comfortable carrying, modular setup
For players who carry their case regularly: the FIEDLER Backpack System is designed to spread and manage the load more comfortably, with padded shoulder straps and accessory options that can be configured around the player and the case.
The wedge cushion supports the lumbar area while carrying and keeps the case away from the body. When playing, it can also be used as a wedge-shaped seat cushion. The music bag gives players a practical place for sheet music and pencils, while the cello board/endpin stopper creates an adjustable endpin holder using the lower straps.
The components
Shoulder straps
The shoulder strap section is the core of the FIEDLER Backpack System. It is adjustable to the player and uses well-padded straps to relieve the neck and shoulders.
- Use: primary backpack carrying system
- Includes: shoulder straps and endpin holder
- Best for: players who want a properly supported backpack-style carry
Wedge cushion
The detachable wedge cushion works as a lumbar support when carrying and helps keep the case away from the body. It can also be used as an ergonomic seat cushion during playing.
- Use: lumbar support while carrying
- Adjustment: position can be adjusted using the straps
- Playing benefit: can be used as a wedge-shaped seat pad
Hip belt
The FIEDLER hip belt is used instead of the wedge cushion. It transfers more of the case weight to the hips, helping to reduce shoulder strain.
- Use: extra relief for shoulders and back
- Supplied with: assembly pack with screws and fittings
- Important: not used at the same time as the wedge cushion
- Compatibility: requires suitable case length and fitting points; very short cases may not be suitable
Music bag
A detachable pocket for sheet music and everyday accessories. Its 30 × 37 cm size is suitable for large-format music, with an additional pocket for pencils and smaller items.
- Use: sheet music and pencil storage
- Size: approx. 30 × 37 cm
- Options: available as a single item or assembly kit
Cello board / endpin stopper
The cello board connects with the lower backpack straps to create a continuously adjustable endpin holder. It helps protect the floor and keeps the cello endpin secure during playing.
- Use: adjustable endpin stopper
- Includes: endpin stopper and two straps
- Setup: lower straps click into the stopper plate
Compatibility & setup
Case compatibility matters. The FIEDLER Backpack System can be fitted to many instrument cases, but the exact setup depends on the case shape, length and mounting points. The hip belt requires suitable side fittings and is not designed to be used at the same time as the wedge cushion.
