I bought this case on a Good Friday sale, and I'm very happy with the value I'm getting for what I paid. It protects my 16" viola very well, and has good sturdy handles and fittings. I've only had it a month so far, but it seems like it should hold up well. It's a little heavier than I expected, but I'm not a student so I don't need to carry it around a campus. From the pictures online, I expected the storage spaces to be a little larger, my shoulder rest barely fits in one, and the door can't close all of the way (see pics), but it does close enough to hold it securely. Maybe a rest with collapsible legs would fit better. My only real disappointment is the hygrometer - the needle has been stuck in one position the entire time that I've had it and never moves. Why bother putting a hygrometer in a lower priced case if it won't work? Just leave it out.
Excellent case. Roomy.Great price.
Only downside is that it is large (has to be because it's adjustable, but my 15.25" viola doesn't really need all that space LOL). It adjusts well and the viola is safe and stable, and I didn't want to spend the big bucks for a case that would fit better, so it's all good! The interior is lovely!
Contrary to a few reviews I've heard, this case has not ripped apart in a matter of months. I am a university student who has been normally using this case for one and a half years and only one rubber stopper on the case's belly came off (and thankfully, since I wish they weren't there in the first place). If you take care of this case as you do your instrument, you won't have any problems (and I dread to see the quality of these reviewers' instruments). The only problem I have with this case is that it does not have a thing that connects both halves of the case to prevent it from opening too far. This case also includes an instrument cover and bag.
