Top 6 Violin Case Reviews

In this article, we’re doing an in-depth guide to our6 best violin cases reviews.And why they are the best selling violin cases!

For each review, we’ve included a scorecard of the different features. These includeweight, protection, durability, temperature resistance, and functionality.

Functionality can include nicer locks, more spacious sheet music pocket, space for shoulder rest, removable accessories pouch, etc.

Keep in mind though,functionality is really based on personal preference. For a violinist that does not use a shoulder rest, having ample space for one in the case may not be necessary.

We also highly recommend watching the videos of each case. Pictures are awesome, but videos give you a much better understanding of how these cases work.
