Violin Cases

There are many violin cases to choose from when you’re looking for the right case. You want a good case that fits your needs. The question is what makes a good violin case?

Violin cases should offer protection and assurance and also be easy to carry. The most important item to pay attention to when choosing a violin case is the padding. You don’t want your violin to be lying flat on its back while in the case. This can be dangerous and damaging to the instrument if dropped or it receives a blow. The instrument’s neck should be held by a strap of Velcro or string, which makes the padding hug to the instrument and gives it even further protection.

The next item to pay attention to is the casing. One type of case to look at is the hard-shell case. This case is known for their durability and assurance that the violin will be protected. The most common disadvantage with this type of case is that they tend to be very heavy to carry. If you want a hard-shell case, but are concerned about the heavy-carrying part, take a look at the light-weight cases that are appearing on the market. These cases hold the violin securely in-place and protect it better.

Another type of case to look at would be Thermoplastic Violin Case. This case is most often used by students, but is still a good case. The Thermoplastic case has two bow holders, with a soft AE cover to protect the top of the instrument. It also has a comfortable handle and strap.

If you want to try a professional case, you should look at the Bobelock Hill Style. This case has a velvet interior that comes with a four-locking bow holder, and an accessory pocket. It also comes with a back-pack option for easier carrying.

If you don’t want to buy a whole new case and want to stick to the one you have, then consider case bags. These bags provide additional padding, more comfortable handles, and back-pack straps. With these, you can carry your violin around with you with a comfortable feeling. This makes it mush easier to carry your case with you.

Another thing to look for in a good case is the exterior and interior compartments. Cases usually have one or four inner compartments and one outer compartment that you can place your music sheets. If you are carrying a portfolio case then choosing a violin case with gusseted outer pockets for extra-storage is recommended. There are also cases with detachable exterior pockets that you can use for your portfolio case. If you use multiple bows, consider getting a case that houses two or more bow holders.

When looking for a good violin case remember to look at the padding, the casing, case bags, and extra compartments so that you pick a violin case that will fit your needs. For obvious reasons, violin cases are important and making sure that your violin case fits your needs is even more important.
