Embassy™ Ambassador Compact Violin Case
REVIEWED BY: Student, NANCY BUCKMAN
reviewed on: 11/21/2016
Wonderful inexpensive case
I like to "rescue" old instruments from flea markets. Usually, they are in pieces and need to be reassembled and repaired. Consequently, I never really know the size of these instruments until I finish with them. I bought two of these cases a few years ago to use with these instruments. They hold just about any size violin...I even have a violin with ribs larger than any viola I have ever come across, and it fits into this case. The interior is gorgeous, too. There is room for a collapsible shoulder rest and little things like rosin, mutes, etc. on the inside. There is a large outside pocket for music, phone, ear buds, etc. And the price can't be beaten. Yes, there are a few little things that I wasn't pleased with...the string tube came out the day it arrives, and the lock on one of them had to be coaxed into permanent working condition, but all in all, this is one amazing case. It still looks as nice today as the day I got it, too!

Heritage® Bass Bag 25mm Foam
REVIEWED BY: Student, ASHLEE ROBINSON
reviewed on: 11/03/2016
GREAT
This case protects my bass completely. I had very think interior to keep your bass safe from the elements. Including many storage pockets all along the case front and back. Many straps and handles to carry your bass with ease. The thick interior does add extra weight when carrying but worth it.

Cushy® Deluxe Carry-All™ Oblong Backpack Case Cover for Violin
REVIEWED BY: Teacher, VINCENT PHELAN

violin cover fits my viola case
The violin cover I bought seems too big for my violin case,(dimensions are 31X10 X 5) and it actually fits my viola case much better (dimensions are 31X12X 5.5) . So my advice is be sure you know the dimensions of your violin case before ordering.

Cushy® Deluxe Carry-All™ Oblong Backpack Case Cover for Violin
REVIEWED BY: Teacher, VINCENT PHELAN
reviewed on: 10/30/2016
good cover, but bulky
I was glad to find a high quality cover for my violin case, the outer cover of the original case was falling apart. The Cushy has nice pockets and is made of strong material, good zipper, etc. My only complaint is that the case looks huuge! Most people think I am carrying a viola.

GL Pentagon Violin Case
REVIEWED BY: STEVEN MINNING
reviewed on: 10/24/2016
Very high quality case
Just received my case in the mail and was very impressed. The construction and fittings are top quality. I agree that for the price it should have come with a humidifier, but haven't had any problems with the zippers so far. Opening and closing both seem to be smooth and trouble free. The case is a bit heavy but it seems that most of the upper end cases are heavier. I think this case is going to be perfect for protecting my prized violin.

Shar Raincoat For Oblong Violin Case
REVIEWED BY: Student, Anonymous
reviewed on: 10/11/2016
Very Nice!
I bought this along with a violin case. I was very impressed. It is made out of heavy material and fairly easy to use. I live in Ohio and the weather is very unpredictable. I play in a group and in addition I take private lessons (advanced student) so I am always on the go. I have been caught in several rainstorms. Not a lot of fun! I can't believe this is only five bucks. Well worth the price. Quick delivery. Another wonderful SHAR product!

Petrus Violin Case
REVIEWED BY: Teacher, CHRISTOPHER A VITAS

Petrus Violin Case
I just received a gorgeous Petrus violin case from Shar last week. It looks stunning, it has a sort of like a camo-carbon fiber look to it, and is very lightweight. The exterior is very sleek and tech looking. Inside, my violin fits snugly, surrounded by little pillows of foam substance. Overall the quality is excellent, with the fit and finish, although maybe not up to par with my Gil Sharon model Musafia case (which is cheaper, by the way). The straps are nicely padded, and the music pouch fits very well since the center section of the case is thinner than at the ends. The accessory spaces have flimsy plastic doors that unlatch when you push down on them. I suppose if you are very careful they might last for a few years. The surrounding inside material looks like flocked plastic. I hope the flocked material doesn't rub off anytime soon. Maybe the compressed carbon fiber shell is really expensive so they had to cut corners on the interior layout, but other than those details the case latches well and should protect a violin; I'm reluctant to test that aspect myself, maybe later.

BAM St. Germain Classic 3 Violin Case Chocolate
REVIEWED BY: MARY MAASS
reviewed on: 08/14/2016
Best case I've ever owned
This case is so well-designed I actually look forward to packing up my fiddle and heading out. It is truly lightweight without being flimsy. It is well balanced and comfortable to hold, both in my hand and using the well-padded shoulder straps. The fit is snug with no rattling around. It has just enough room for all my essentials (two bows, shoulder rest, tuner, rosin, extra strings, set lists, various little gew-gaws). The standing on end feature is super cool. This will be my main case for all scenarios--can't wait to travel with it. And all for such a reasonable price! Thanks Bam!

Single Bow Case for Violin, Viola, or Cello Bow
REVIEWED BY: Parent, lily lin
reviewed on: 09/21/2015
great case
Ordered this case for my daughter because she does not take her cello to school. The original photo was a hinged case, I was pleasantly surprised when this case arrived. (the photo now reflects the case) It was padded all the way around and plush velvet inside the case. The zipper goes around the way around the case and it's nicely made. It has a handle, no shoulder strap, which I prefer since the case is lightweight and on a shoulder it might knock people or things. Very portable and sturdy. Really like it.
