Molto Classic Oblong Violin Case

I recently purchased this case for a slightly oversized violin.

Pros:

Everything feels very solid (hinges, latches, attachments, seal).

Case is spacious and adjustable, and fits my orthotic Bonmusica shoulder rest.

Case sits upright when open, even without a fiddle in it.

At least on its first outing, crammed into a full car for a cross-country trip, it was very scratch/grime resistant.

Nice bow holders and comfortable outside handle.

These shoulder straps are the nicest I've ever seen as a stock accessory for a case. They are padded, and obviously higher quality straps with little retainer loops for the clips. This is a big deal for me as I use them often.

Cons:

Though the case aired out its chemical smell in about a day, the accessory bag continues to off gas in a very stinky way. Depending on your tolerance for smells it may take a few weeks before you wantto use it.

The interior fabric is some kind of plush that doesn't have a luxe look/feel and seems like something that might not wear well. But so far, so good.

Overall, it's a light, protective and solid feeling case that fits a variety of sizes. I don't notice the wider width at all during use and it is obviously useful in creating the interior space! It's easy to carry by handle or straps.

The customer service and shipping was awesome! They helped me determine which case could accommodate my instrument, my "stuff", and my preferences and they were spot on. I'm really happy with my purchase.
