Three-point suspension system

The instrument never touches the shell.

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.

1Neck heel support
A padded cradle beneath the heel of the neck, one of the strongest points of the instrument, carries its weight.
2Lower bout support
A second support holds the lower edge of the body, keeping the back level and clear of the shell.
3End support
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.

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.

Safety

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.

Reliability

Supports placed where the instrument is strongest and softly padded, for the same protection on every journey, year after year.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Eternity and Vulcano?

Eternity is pure carbon fiber and lighter; Vulcano is aerospace grade carbon fiber with automotive finishes, a leather handle and a velour interior, at a higher price.

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.

Triangular or oblong: which shape should I choose?

A triangular case follows the shape of the violin: it is more compact and lighter and usually holds two bows. An oblong (rectangular) case has more room inside: usually four bow holders, a larger accessory pocket and often a music compartment.

Can I take a Negri case on a plane?

Many airlines accept a violin or viola case in the cabin, but the rules depend on the airline, the route and the fare; a cello normally needs its own seat. Check with your airline before you fly.

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.

What are the shipping and payment conditions?

Shipping within the United States is free and US store prices include import duties. You can pay by card or PayPal; returns are accepted within 14 days, in perfect condition and in the original packaging.
