This cello-shaped case blends 50% carbon fibre with lightweight polymer to give touring musicians pro-level strength at a carry weight of about 1.7 kg. The structured shape makes it easy to slip through tight spaces, while the rigid shell shrugs off hard knocks and vibration on the road.

Inside, a floating suspension cradle holds the violin away from the walls so shocks never hit the body. Two bow clips line the lid and a hidden pocket keeps rosin, shoulder rest, and spare strings organised, with no worries about rattles or scratches.

Easy on your back, sealed from the weather

Travel days are easier, too. Padded backpack straps spread the load, and quick-flip alloy latches sail through security checks. A tongue-and-groove seal keeps rain and dust out, so you unpack, tune, and play without fuss.
