Looking For A Violin Case Comparable to a BAM

Are you looking for a light weight case? There are several on the market however, the quality is poor on most of them. I would avoid any case that has a foam construction, unless you feel like replacing the case every few years. There is a lightweight case that you can get from Shar that is medium quality:

Shar SL Super Light Oblong Violin Case

Item # SL200 X BLU

$269.00



If you are looking for a moderately priced case that is very well made, durable and will give you many years of service I would suggest any case from Bobelock, other than the lightweight model. They have cases that are made of fiberglass or wood shell. You can get these cases in oblong or half moon. Please visit their website: www.bobelock.com


Gewa makes some nice cases but most of their lower priced models are made in China and don't hold up very well. The more expensive cases are made in Germany. They are expensive because of the exchange rate. I don't feel that their suspension system is as good as the Bobelock is. I feel the same about Negri, Musafia and Riboni cases.

I hope this helps.
