  Featherweight C3960 Violin Case

  I have been looking for a violin case for my son for quite sometime & when I saw this this on Amazon, I was a little skeptical... You can't find anywhere on the net for this kind of violin case at such a low price. My son just loves it, it has so much room for his stuffs and light. The product was more than I have expected, nicely built and sturdy. 4/5 Bashful (California) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Very pleased

  I am very pleased with this case. It has lots of storage area, two compartments inside. as well as a zippered area outside that can hold sheet music. The case holds the violin very securely and is well padded. Hand straps, shoulder strapsand is very nice looking. Overall I think this case is a very good value 5/5 John M.

  Nice for the Price

  I have been a violin player for 24 years, and this case is very nice for the price. If I were to walk into a land music store, I would pay at least $80 for a case that I consider to be of great quality. 5/5 S. Park - See all my reviews, July 15, 2011

  Beautiful!

  Got this case yesterday and I couldn't be happier! The inside had a rather beige color than a blue one, but i didn't mind. It holds my violin, bows, and accessories securely. Came with straps so you can ear it like a back pack. Cases like these are usually $80 or more. Totally worth it people! 5/5 Sierra - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  good case

  The fiddle case looks to be of good quality and is an excellent price. The fit was a bit tight for one of my fiddles but the other fit fairly well. The fiddle that didn't fit the best is a restored fiddle and may not be shaped quite like an original. 4/5 dance lady (North Dakota) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  (2.3/5)

  

  Not (really) a 4/4 case.

  Caveat emptor.Desiring more rugged protection for my primary violin, I purchased this sturdy case.There were several critical issues with this case.1. This case was too narrow to accommodate either of my two (dimensionally typical) 4/4 "real" violins or my (somewhat slim) electric violin.2. The bottom bow holder wasn't deep enough for a full sized bow (manufacturing defect?)3. The "lining" of the case, while soft, was a shaggy substance, certain to capture rosin and eventually damage the violin's oil/varnish.4. The top bow holder, while deep enough, exerted _sideways_ pressure on the bow (which will ruin a wood bow). 1/5 R. Bowles (USA) - See all my reviews, March 21, 2010

  Full-size 4/4 Quality Violin Case, Light & Strong

  Musical Instruments (VIO-MUSIC)
  

  Rating (4 reviews):

  (4.2/5)

  

  Very nice!!!!!!

  I am very satisfied with this product. The case is a perfect fit for my violin! It came earlier than expected and also included 2 carrying straps and a velvet/satin (not sure) blanket that matched the case interior. The white interior and exterior brown leather accents are very stylish and a nice change from the traditional black case with red/green interior. Even though it is slightly expensive, it is still much much cheaper than other oblong cases that can cost 70$ or more. Only downside is that it has only 2 bow holders but I'm willing to look past this since everything else is perfect. 5/5 PMD - See all my reviews This review is from: Full-size 4/4 Quality Violin Case, Light & Strong I am very satisfied with this product.

  Rating (2 reviews):

  (4.0/5)

  

  Quality of finish not as expected

  I paid almost $60 for this, and given its original list price I expect a good quality product. The PVC case and interior cushion are good. The shape is nice and better than other hard cases. The aluminum rims (trims) are solid and fit well when the case is in closed/lock position, but there are little gaps between the aluminum and the PVC. Only the rims are made of aluminum. My disappointment is with the buckles, connections with the PVC handle, eyelets for shoulder strap and hinges that hold the cover to the base compartment. They are all made of low quality steel. I am not sure if it will last the wear and tear (my son carry this to school everyday). In humid weather they will rust pretty soon. There is no compartment for shoulder rest - but this is the risk you have to take when you buy a hard case. Conclusion: not worth the $ I paid for. 3/5 R.

  Compact, but short on room

  This case is lightweight and compact, is nice to look at, and seems well made. The violin and bow fit very snugly, but there is no extra room for maneuvering either item. Most important, there is no room inside the case for a shoulder rest (which is what I had expected) and will have to go in the outside pocket, which is not designed for the bulge of a shoulder rest. Had the case been a little roomier, I would have given it a higher rating...of course, how it holds up to regular use is another matter. 3/5 MusicShopper - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Great case for the price

  It would be difficult to beat this violin case for the price - or even close to the price. VERY lightweight and perfect for transporting a student/rental violin. Much lighter than the standard rental case. As another reviewer mentioned, space is tight (allowing for the small size). You might not be able to fit your shoulder rest in this case.This is a "value" case, and fills that niche nicely. I would recommend it to anyone for that purpose. It can't be compared to a $600 bobelock case (which I also own, for a different violin), but that's not the target audience for this item. 4/5 Thomas J.

  Great case/great price!

  Case is nice with room for the shoulder rest. Lightweight -- much lighter than a standard hard case. Very nice fabric and construction for the price. We have a case for a viola of the same type and it has held up very well this year for my daughter. She carries it back and forth to school each day and it still looks great. The weight of the case was a factor in that purchase as well. 5/5 St. Louis Girl - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Bam Stylus 5001S 4/4 Violin Case with Black Exterior and Silver Interior

  Rating (1 reviews):

  (5.0/5)

  

  Very good, if not perfect, violin case

  I purchased my BAM case a few months ago and am very pleased. There are many good qualities, but there are a few drawbacks.First, the quality of the case is exceptional. Every part of the construction is solid, much more so than my last case (Negri). The interior is a semi-rigid foam covered in a velvety material. It has a little bit of give to it, even a little soft you might say.Speaking of the interior, BAM has made a wise choice to put the accessory pouch at the bottom of the case rather than the top. This means that the frogs of the bows won't come crashing down on the lower bought of the instrument when you close the case. And it isn't a compartment either, but a removable, zippered pouch. I didn't think that I would have liked it so much, but it is actually very convenient.There is room in the top of the case near the scroll of the instrument for a shoulder rest. There is just enough room for my bonmusica shoulder rest. Since this is... 5/5 Wolfgang Jaeger (Pleasant Grove, UT USA) - See all my reviews, November 30, 2010
