Case buying guide

Questions buyers ask before they choose

Shaped or oblong: which case should I choose?

Shaped cases follow the outline of the instrument, so they are lighter and more compact. Oblong cases are a little heavier but usually add room for extra bows, rosin, a shoulder rest and other accessories.

What size case do I need?

Choose the case that matches the instrument's size. Violins and cellos use fractional sizes, violas are measured by body length in inches, and double basses use fractions. Our sizing guide explains each one, and a string specialist can confirm the fit.

Hard case or soft bag for a cello or bass?

Hard cases give the most protection for school buses, car trunks and travel. Padded soft bags are lighter and easier to carry for local trips, lessons and gigs.

How much does shipping cost for a case?

Violin, viola and bow cases ship free within the US on orders over $99; smaller orders ship for $5.95. Most cello and double bass cases are oversized and ship for a flat $24.95 within the continental US. Your exact rate is shown at checkout.

Can I return a case?

Yes. Most items can be returned within 45 days of delivery in original, like-new condition. Outbound shipping costs are deducted from the refund; see our returns policy for details.
