Best Double Violin Cases: Top 4 in 2024

Here at Great Violin Cases, we understand that finding a good double violin case may be difficult because there’s not that much information on them!

Unlike violin cases, there aren’t that many blogs or articles comparing and reviewing the different double violin case options out there. And finding a double violin case at your local store may prove challenging as well.

After all, music stores are limited on space, and there’s a lot more violinists looking for standard violin cases than double cases.

Which is exactly why we see the need to write this article! Choosing a good double case is important.

You are, after all, protecting two instruments instead of one.We’ll go over some of the best double violin cases we have on our site.

And where are we getting our information you ask? From our customers! We’ve sold enough double cases to know which ones have been the most popular.

And just to make sure we’re all on the same page, we’re referring to cases that can fit two violins, NOT a violin and a viola. We’ll probably do a separate article on those cases in the near future.
