So close yet so far
This is almost the perfect case. The shoulder rest compartment fits my Wolf primo forte, and the other compartment can fit my rosin, chalk, extra mute, etc. The music pouch at the back fits 8.5x11 prints just fine. The shoulder straps are comfortable, the design is compact, the bow holder spinners are fine. It is SO LIGHTWEIGHT.
My main issue is the size of the violin compartment. It's...snug. So much so that I thought it was a 3/4 size case at first. I asked everyone I know if they think it'll be unsafe, and the consensus is a skeptical "no, it should be fine". So I decided to keep it because I'm so happy with it generally, and my violin is suspended very well, at least. And the first thing I did was kneel on top of the lid and test how much weight it could take. I believe them when they say you could stand on this case.
The part where the tip of the bow sits is a bit too roomy, so my bow has a lot of room to bang around on the sides. I've taken to putting my cleaning cloth in that part so there's some padding.
Just a bit more room and this would be a 5 star case.
