3.5 lb. – Super Lightweight Contoured Violin Case
We classify a violin case as “light” if it weighs under 5 lb., and this case definitely surpasses that standard.
What’s more incredible is the German engineering behind the design to decrease the weight of the case without sacrificing protection.
Unlike conventional plastics, thermoplastic combines exceptional strength with minimal weight, making it a preferred material in aerospace and manufacturing industries.
It is comparable to carbon fiber but much more temperature-resistant.

3-Digit Combination Locks

This case comes with 3-digit combination locks to keep your violin safe from accidental openings and theft. Most cases typically use zippers or key locks.
Plus, you won’t have to stress about finding a key—just remember your combination!
2 Adjustable Velcro Rings for Shoulder Rest
The case includes two movable velcro rings, allowing you to fit and secure a shoulder rest.

Padded Backpack Straps and Safety Rings

This case features 2 padded backpack straps. You can use both straps to create a standard upside-down V-shape, allowing you to carry the case like a backpack.
Or you can simply use one of the straps as a shoulder strap to carry over one shoulder.
The straps feature additional screw-in security rings that encircle the D-rings and clips. This backup system ensures that even if a clip unexpectedly loosens, your case remains safely secured and won’t drop to the ground.
