This oblong shell is moulded from the same polycarbonate used in aircraft windows, so crowded buses, tight orchestra pits, and the odd knock against a doorway won’t threaten your instrument.

That rock-solid exterior opens to a fully-featured interior: Four bow holders line the lid, a full-width pocket keeps sheet music flat, and a deep accessory pocket stores rosin, shoulder rest, and spare strings for easy access. Everything has its place, with no worries about rattles or scratches.

Light on your back, sealed from the elements

At about 2.4 kg, the case rides comfortably on padded backpack straps, balanced for long campus walks and airport dashes. A tongue-and-groove rubber gasket seals out rain, dust, and sudden chills, so your violin arrives ready to play wherever you land.
