An oblong violin case with a strong wooden shell under a black nylon Cordura cover, a three-point suspension system and room for four bows.
A strong wooden shell for protection, Cordura for the road and a suspended interior that holds your violin securely.
Your violin rests on a three-point suspension system, held in place by interior fixing cushions, with four bow placements and a string tube.
A soft protective blanket covers the instrument, while two large pockets and one small pocket keep your accessories in order.
A strong wooden shell wrapped in original certified nylon Cordura, closed with a key lock and carried by a padded handle or backpack straps.
A compartment for sheet music and a dedicated passport compartment keep your documents travelling with your instrument.
A fine instrument is most vulnerable where it is most beautiful: its arched back and its delicate edges. That is why, inside this case, your violin does not lie on the bottom. It is held on three padded points of support and suspended above the shell, so its most fragile surfaces never touch it.
ShellFree space: the back never touches the shell123A padded cradle beneath the heel of the neck, one of the strongest points of the instrument, carries its weight.
A second support holds the lower edge of the body, keeping the back level and clear of the shell.
A third padded block holds the end of the instrument, so it cannot slide forward or backward in transit.
For an instrument of great value, the case is not an accessory. It is its first line of protection.
When the case is knocked or dropped, the impact reaches the shell first and is absorbed before it can travel to the instrument. Nothing presses against the back, the top or the edges.
Your violin is held firmly in one precise position. It cannot shift, rotate or strike the lid, whether the case is carried by hand, on your back or in the cabin of an aircraft.
Supports placed where the instrument is strongest, padded in velvet and fitted by hand in Rome, for the same protection on every journey, year after year.
A black Cordura exterior with the interior color of your choice.

For musicians who travel with scores, strings and accessories and want everything in one classic wooden case.
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. If the case is knocked or dropped, the shell takes the impact before it can reach the instrument, and the violin cannot shift or strike the lid.
The case is made for full-size 4/4 violins and follows the measurements of Stradivari models. If your violin has unusual dimensions, send the measurements to info@negricases.com and we will confirm the fit before you buy.
