Which one should I choose?

Frequently asked questions

What is aerospace grade carbon fiber?

A prepreg carbon fiber of higher quality and strength than standard carbon fiber. Negri Cases uses it for the Vulcano line; the Eternity line uses pure carbon fiber.

What is the difference between Vulcano and Eternity?

Eternity is pure carbon fiber, lighter (1.5–1.7 kg for violin) and from €750. Vulcano is aerospace grade carbon fiber with automotive finishes, a leather handle and a velour interior, from €1,100.

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.
