Provided is an instrument housing case, which allows an instrument to be readily taken in and out of the instrument. The instrument housing case (10) includes: a main body case (20), which has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and includes an opened upper end surface and opened upper portions of parts of side surfaces; and a cover body (30). The cover body (30) includes: a top plate (31) adapted for an opening portion (26) of the upper end surface of the main body case; and a side plate (33) adapted for an opening portion (28) of the parts of the side surfaces of the main body case (20), the side plate (33) including a lower end portion pivotably fixed to the main body case (20) through a hinge (40). The cover body (30) covers the opening portion (26) of the upper end surface and the opening portion (28) of the parts of the side surfaces of the main body case (20) to thereby allow the opening portions (26, 28) to open and close.

1. An instrument housing case for housing an instrument, which is long in one direction, the instrument housing case allowing the instrument to be taken in and out of the instrument housing case in a state in which the instrument housing case is placed while a longitudinal direction of the instrument housing case is oriented in a vertical direction, the instrument housing case comprising: an integrally formed main body case, which has a bottom portion with a closed bottom, an open upper portion with a completely open top in opposition to the closed bottom, and side surfaces connected to the closed bottom, the side surfaces having partially open parts; anda cover body, including: a top plate adapted for closing the open top of the upper portion of the main body case; anda side plate adapted for closing the partially open parts of the side surfaces, the side plate comprising a lower end portion pivotably fixed to the main body case through a hinge to allow the instrument housing case to open and close,wherein, when the cover body is opened by downwardly pivoting the cover body, the closed bottom of the main body case and the top plate of the cover body are positioned so as to be substantially flush with each other, to thereby allow the bottom of the main body case and the top plate of the cover body to be seated and placed,wherein the main body case has a pair of opposed surfaces with larger widths, and a pair of opposed surfaces, which are orthogonal to the pair of opposed surfaces having the larger widths, with smaller widths;wherein the open upper portion and the partially open parts of the side surfaces are provided by one surface of the pair of opposed surfaces having the larger widths and both surfaces of the pair of opposed surfaces having the smaller widths, adjacent to the one surface of the pair having the larger widths;wherein side portions of the opposed surfaces having the larger widths of the main body case are connected to each other through dividing walls;wherein a housing portion sized and configured for housing a bow-shaped accessory of the instrument is formed in each side portion of an inside of the main body case; andwherein the hinge is situated at a side in one of the surfaces having the larger widths. 2. An instrument housing case according to claim 1, wherein, when viewed from the opening portion of the parts of the side surfaces, a fitting line is between the cover body and the main body case and extends downwardly from the top plate of the cover body and then horizontally to define the side plate of the cover body. 3. An instrument housing case according to claim 1, wherein the instrument housing case is formed of a resin reinforced with woven fabric containing carbon fiber. 4. An instrument housing case according to claim 1, wherein: the instrument comprises a rubbed string instrument comprising: a main body portion;a neck extending from the main body portion;a bridge portion arranged on a front side of the main body portion;a string tensioned through the bridge portion on the front side of the main body portion and on a front side of the neck; anda chinrest fixed with an end pin to an end portion of the main body portion on a side opposite to the neck;a first retaining portion for supporting a vicinity of the end pin is provided on an inner surface of the bottom portion of the main body case;a second retaining portion for sandwiching the neck is provided on an inner surface of the main body case, which is opposed to the side plate of the cover body, and on an inner surface of the side plate of the cover body; andan area in which a painted surface of the instrument is held in contact with an inner surface of the instrument housing case is set to be 10% or less of an entire of the painted surface. 5. An instrument housing case according to claim 4, wherein: the second retaining portion comprises: a first holding member, which is fixed on the inner surface of the side plate of the cover body, and holds a back surface portion of the neck; anda second holding member, which is fixed on the inner surface of the main body case, and with which a fingerboard provided on the front side of the neck comes into contact; andthe fingerboard is supported in substantially parallel to the inner surface of the main body case. 6. An instrument housing case according to claim 4, wherein, between the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion in the inner surface of the main body case, which is opposed to the side plate of the cover body, a recessed portion for arranging the bridge portion of the rubbed string instrument while preventing the bridge portion from coming into contact with the inner surface of the instrument housing case is formed. 7. An instrument housing case according to claim 4, wherein, in the inner surface of the main body case, which is opposed to the side plate of the cover body, an inclined surface is formed above the first retaining portion, the inclined surface protruding toward the inside of the main body case as extending toward a lower side of the main body case, so as to reach the first retaining portion. 8. An instrument housing case according to claim 5, wherein the first holding member is structured so as to come into contact with an edge portion, which is on a side opposite to the end pin of the main body portion of the instrument, from a side of a back surface of the instrument when the cover body is closed, to thereby hold the main body portion against the first retaining portion. 9. An instrument housing case according to claim 1, wherein protection layers formed of an elastic resin are formed at least in corner portions of the bottom portion of the main body case. 10. An instrument housing case according to claim 1, wherein the main body case forms a shape in which both side corner portions of a wall portion opposed to the side plate of the cover body are chamfered when viewed from a side of the upper end surface and a side of a lower end surface of the main body case.
