Negri Cases

Wooden violin cases made in Rome

Each wooden case is built around a solid wooden structure that protects the instrument from impacts and changes in temperature, finished with a perfectly contoured interior, secure closures and space for bows and accessories.

Wooden violin cases by Negri Cases

Negri Cases makes wooden violin cases with fabric covers for everyday use: the Firenze (€490), designed for students; the Venezia (€750), with a Cordura 500 cover and a shoulder rest compartment; and the oblong Milano (€1,200), with the most storage in the collection. Wood protects naturally against knocks and temperature changes. All three have the Negri three-point suspension, four bow holders and backpack straps.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a wooden violin case?

Wood protects naturally against knocks and sudden temperature changes, has a classic look and can be covered in fabric or leather. Wooden cases are a little heavier (2.6–2.85 kg) than carbon fiber cases.

Which violin sizes do Negri cases fit?

Negri violin cases are made for full-size 4/4 violins and follow the measurements of Stradivari models. There are no cases for fractional sizes (3/4, 1/2, 1/4). If your violin has unusual dimensions, send the measurements to info@negricases.com and the team will confirm the fit before you buy.

What is the Negri three-point suspension?

The violin rests on three padded supports – the neck heel, the lower bout and the end of the body – and is held above the shell, so its back, top and edges never touch it. Knocks are absorbed by the shell before they reach the instrument.

Can Negri Cases help me choose?

Yes. Write to info@negricases.com with your instrument, its measurements if it is not standard, how you travel and your budget, or book a video call with the team.
