Caveat emptor.

Desiring more rugged protection for my primary violin, I purchased this sturdy case.

There were several critical issues with this case.
1. This case was too narrow to accommodate either of my two (dimensionally typical) 4/4 "real" violins or my (somewhat slim) electric violin.
2. The bottom bow holder wasn't deep enough for a full sized bow (manufacturing defect?)
3. The "lining" of the case, while soft, was a shaggy substance, certain to capture rosin and eventually damage the violin's oil/varnish.
4. The top bow holder, while deep enough, exerted _sideways_ pressure on the bow (which will ruin a wood bow).

I ordered one of these and disregarded another reviewers comments on it being too small for his violin to fit into. He must be wrong right? WRONG!! My case is also too small for ANY of my three full sized violins to fit into!

I can consider sitting my 200+ butt on this thing with my wife antique violin in it. It will hold! Great quality product. Nice touch on the soft pocket for that bridge thing-y.
