No lie. This is a quality bag. Heavy nylon, padding between layers top and bottom, YKK heavy duty zipper. Outside pocket large enough for music books and accessories. A total of 6 D-rings arranged so a shoulder strap (not included) can be attached more toward the center or toward the ends, or to sling the bag vertically over your back. Generous fit for my standard size dulcimer. I took advantage of the custom embroidery option and it’s perfect. Very happy with this purchase.
