Tonareli Special Edition Violin Fiberglass Case - Graphite - 4/4 VNF1018

I love this case! My violin is a bit slender and a little longer than most others so I was worried about it fitting in the case but it fits perfectly! Very snug which I appreciate because of the added protection. My shoulder rest, rosin, rag, humidifier, gage, and other miscellaneous objects all fit nicely in the case and i love the small amount of space that the whole thing takes up together. I read some reviews about bending bows, but that's not a problem. It does scrape easily on the outside so if you're rough on cases then maybe consider a case cover or a case with a more fabric texture on the outside. Many of the scrapes I added to it the first few days I was able to rub off. The chemical smell is definitely present, but not as bad as many of the reviews have mentioned. I would my violin in the case to transport it to school and work every day then bring it home and air it out by leaving the case open at night. My instrument did pick up the smell, but it was gone in a week.Great case! Would definitely recommend.

I was super excited to get this case but bow holders were missing!!!! Unfortunately I must return this.

This is our second Tonareli case only because my daughter wanted a different color after 5 years with a red one. The red one is in great condition and protected her violin through middle school and some high school years with only a few dings and scratches to the case, which is why we decided to stick with this great company/case. This new, black one is still in mint condition after making it through 2 weeks of traveling through Europe and the violin itself, which is the most important item, is in tip-top shape. It arrived quickly.

very disappointed as shoulder straps not included in the box or in the violin case.

This case was a "love at first sight" kind of thing for me. The case felt really compact yet it seemed to have the right amount of space inside to carry everything I need. The suspension system is great, Great to the point that I can get away with keeping a pack or 2 of strings underneath the violin itself without contact. The hinges, latches and bow locks are well designed. I made a last second decision to get this over an oblong case and I don't regret it at all.Just a note. This case is definitely more on the gray side if youre expecting more black.Update: So it has been nearly half a year since Ive had this case. The case is still holding up well, However. Rusting is now becoming prominent over all locks. You can only wipe so much of it off. Everything else is still great and I will edit this post again if the rusting goes from being just cosmetic to damaging the function of the locks.

Excellent quality case. I find it of comparable quality to BAM cases. No complaints here!
