It’s the height of festival season and that means for many bands and musicians, it’s time to hit the road and play at various locations across the country. But while the likes of Pulp or Morrissey are drawing the biggest crowds, up and down the country there are hundreds, if not thousands of smaller bands and performers who don’t have the luxury of a convoy of tour buses and roadies to transport them and their precious instruments to gigs around the country (or even around town!)
That’s where a Thule roof box could provide an excellent addition to any artist’s travelling kit.
Think about it. If you’re going to be on the road touring with your band, even a people carrier will feel like a tight squeeze after a few hours on the motorway, crammed in with guitars, electric pianos, amps and the like.
Thule roof boxes provide ample space and excellent protection for your instruments and other gear, meaning that you can kick back, relax and stretch your legs a bit – perfect preparation for a gig big or small.
Roof boxes fit easily on to Thule roof bars, which come in a variety of designs depending on what type of vehicle you have.
Thule boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes so it’s a good idea to give some thought to what you want to use yours for. You can have long narrow ones ideal for such things as skis. Others are suited to carrying items like snowboards and surf boards. Generally speaking, for musicians, it will be such items as electric pianos that will take up a lot of room, so a deep, heavyweight box will be the order of the day. The Thule Excellence range might be one to consider.
Standard features that are included in all Thule roof boxes are:
Fast Grip
– This unique mounting system allows maximum ease when fitting your box. The grip claws can be tightened around load carrier bars up to 90mm in width and have been tested for a maximum load of up to 75 kg.
Dual Force
– Patented, special suspension, which acts upwards when you open the cover and downwards when you close it.
Central locking
– to provide maximum security to your box, the key can only be removed if all locking points are closed.
So if you’re taking your music on the road this summer, a Thule roof box is well worth looking at, and could provide music to the ears!
