Bam St Germain Classic 3 Contoured Violin Case

I am quite pleased with this case that I bought for travelling. It is very sturdy, and my 1793 violin fits in it snugly. It might be a tight fit for a slightly larger-than-average violin, but excellent for a slightly smaller-than-averager older violin. The only annoyance is the top doesn't stay open yet without putting something under the case to tilt it backwards about 15 degrees. The padded shoulder straps are very comfortable and much sturdier than my previous case.

Love the case so far. It's sturdy, well protective of the fiddle and I like the outside pocket for the shoulder rest. No more wrestling with it next to the violin neck.

Excellent handcraft

This case is so well-designed I actually look forward to packing up my fiddle and heading out. It is truly lightweight without being flimsy. It is well balanced and comfortable to hold, both in my hand and using the well-padded shoulder straps. The fit is snug with no rattling around. It has just enough room for all my essentials (two bows, shoulder rest, tuner, rosin, extra strings, set lists, various little gew-gaws). The standing on end feature is super cool. This will be my main case for all scenarios--can't wait to travel with it. And all for such a reasonable price! Thanks Bam!

So donít get me wrong, this case is really cute and has kept my violin safe through multiple collisions, however thereís just not enough space. It is pretty heavy, and my shoulder rest doesnít fit anywhere. There are tiny knobs on the back of the case
that make it hurt when you wear it as a backpack. Itís not as light as Iíd like, but Iíve had heavier cases. The main turnoff for me is that thereís no room anywhere unless you have a tiny shoulder rest (like belvelin), but my Everest barely fit, and my bon
m˙sica definitely does not fit.
