Shaped violin case for sale | 4/4, carbon, lightweight

The shaped case, the classic violin case

A shaped case is a well-regarded case. It is easy to carry under the arm and very light. It also has drawbacks: no room for sheet music and, as a rule, only a small compartment for accessories. Shaped cases exist in every price range, from inexpensive to very expensive. As long as they offer more protection and are made from finer materials or with a higher finish, they can also command high prices.

Anyone who wants colour at a modest price will find the Andantino Carbon 70 violin case a good choice. The German firm GEWA offers, for example, the GEWA Air 1.7, a fairly robust case with room for two bows. Anyone who prefers a durable wood-core case with a high finish will appreciate the Musafia cases, for example the Musafia Luxury Classic.

The shaped violin case has proved practical for daily use. It has a firm handle and can also be fitted with a shoulder strap or backpack straps. Some even have a metro strap. That strap lets you carry the shaped case upright, on the bus or on the train.

The straps make it easier to carry the violin case over longer distances and leave the hands free. The weight moves to the shoulders, which is easier than carrying it by the handle.
