Investing in Quality: Ensuring Longevity with Premium Violin Cases

For musicians who travel a lot, it is important to look for cases with backpack straps and other carrying options. This allows you to carry your instrument easily over long distances and in situations with multiple passengers or other equipment, such as sheet music. If you also need to carry accessories, such as rosin, a metronome or a shoulder rest, check for cases that allow you to store those items.

Some models have a half-moon shape, which makes them smaller on the inside. In general, these will have less space for sheet music and may not have room for more than two bows. However, most of these cases still fit your shoulder rest in at the side of the neck.

This case is the lightest on our list and also the cheapest. It features a polycarbonate shell, which is shatterproof and heat resistant. It is the same material that is used for high-end sunglasses. It is also water-resistant, which is helpful if you live in a rainy area or frequently get caught out in the elements.
