五金配件採用全黃銅並鍍上24K金：鎖扣、鉚釘及Negri徽章，皆因其厚重質感與溫潤光澤而選。
與高級皮具同源的材質，只為一個目的而選：以非凡品味守護您的小提琴。
頂級意大利皮革包覆堅固木質外殼：需要保護之處堅實，觸感卻柔軟。
24K鍍金全黃銅五金：鎖扣、鉚釘及徽章，經久耐用。
皮革與絲絨內裡，配備三點懸浮系統，穩妥承托樂器。
珍貴的樂器，最美之處亦最脆弱：拱起的背板與細緻的邊緣。因此，在這個琴盒內，您的小提琴並非平放於底部，而是由三個軟墊支點承托，懸浮於外殼之上，讓最脆弱的表面永不與外殼接觸。
外殼懸空空間：背板永不觸及外殼123位於琴頸根部下方的軟墊托架承托樂器重量，此處是樂器最堅固的部位之一。
第二個承托點托住琴身下緣，令背板保持水平並與外殼分隔。
第三個軟墊塊固定樂器尾端，運送途中不會前後滑動。
對於珍貴的樂器而言，琴盒並非配件，而是它的第一道防線。
琴盒受到碰撞或跌落時，衝擊會先落在外殼上，並在傳到樂器之前被吸收。背板、面板與邊緣均不受任何壓迫。
您的小提琴被穩固地固定在一個精確位置，無論手提、背負或帶上機艙，都不會移位、轉動或撞向琴蓋。
承托點設於樂器最堅固之處，以絲絨包覆，並於羅馬人手安裝，年復一年，每趟旅程都提供同樣的保護。

The Diplomat is a handmade leather violin case by Negri Cases for full-size (4/4) violins. It is built on a rigid wooden shell, covered in fine Italian leather and finished with brass hardware plated in 24k gold. Inside, a leather and velvet interior holds the violin on a three-point suspension system, so the back and edges of the instrument never touch the shell. The case weighs 2.8 kg, holds four bows and is handmade in Rome, Italy. Price: €3,500 in the EU store.

The Diplomat is for violinists who want a classic leather case with the presence of fine leather goods: professional players, soloists and owners of valuable or antique violins. It is also a popular gift for a musician. If light weight is the first priority, the carbon fiber cases are a better fit: the Eternity Triangular weighs 1.5 kg and the Vulcano Oblong 1.9 kg.
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.
Add the weight of your violin to the weight of the case. A violin usually weighs 400–500 g.
