I'll bet no manufacturer is thinking of backpacks for lutes. Haven't
seen one yet in REI, LL Bean, or Cabela's.
Here's what I use- It's a top loading army duffle bag with two straps
for carrying on one's back. I dump the lute in it's MTM case right in,
the top clip just manages to close. The size I have tightly fits my
tenor size 8 course Renaissance lute, but the next bigger size should
work for a bass rider or 11 course Baroque lute. I position it so the
pegbox faces back, and the flat part lies against my back. Great for
taking the subway into town, and any schlepping on foot long distance in
inclement weather to gigs that don't pay enough
Dan.

I see guys carrying 'cellos and guitars in backpacks - does anyone make a
backpack for a baroque lute (in its case)?
