    Bobelock-better than Great Value

    Some people may think of a Bobelock case as a "value" case. I bought one of the Hill-style cases for a modern Italian violin. I can say there is no compromise here! My comparison are no-longer made American Continental and the Weber (Washington) cases...which were great cases, and cost in the 300-500 range in the 1980s!

    This Bobelock has everything you want in a full-service, protective case. Lots of storage room with covers (Hill interior) and external cover protects from rain, and has ample large pocket for music, sheet music, two covered "wallets" and also slots for pencils or pens...this case shows how much thought went into manufacturing before the first cut was made!

    There are more expensive European cases, but the Bobelock, made in the Phillippines, is downright competitive, especially if you want a case made in a country with free people!

    Maker of a Chinese made brand told me--the Bobelock has consistently been high quality with no variation in quality for decades....that's his competition!!

    I have a moon-shaped Bobelock for 25 years--and it looks brand new. I highly recommend this case for a valuable instrument! My violin fit perfectly--no wobbling or vertical shaking.

    Exceptional case at any price!

    Great Case!

    Fantastic case for the price! Very durable, beautiful, well designed. It's on the heavier side, but that's the tradeoff for great protection. Gorgeous blue color, well made. The folks at Great Violin Cases offer fantastic service, too!

    This fit is good for my instrument

    I did a fair bit of research and read a lot of reviews and forum posts before buying this case. I've seen it referred to as the "Honda Accord" of violin cases: safe, reliable, and affordable. Now that I have it, I completely agree with that assessment. The fit is good for my instrument, but just a little on the snug side now that I have added a silk violin bag to the mix. It is also a bit lighter than I was expecting, or perhaps all the yoga is starting to pay off. I would still love to have a Musafia case someday when I can afford it, but I'm very happy with the quality of this one right now.
