OK, gang... My old American Case is rapidly decaying and I need to look into buying another case. This time I want a lighter case. I heard great things about the BAM Techno cases. Anyone has one? Impressed by it?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Check out Musafia. They have a Luxury Model that's lightweight. I've got one of hte Luxury Classics and they're great! Very good quality, very nice looking case as well.

Go to the Luxury models, you can see the Ultralight model there too. Take a look at all the other cases they have, you're sure to find something you like!
I've currently got an Antonio violin case and i'm very happy with it. Not sure if it's any lighter than the musafia ones though.

It's all a matter of personal taste though. Good luck!
I have one of the light-weight Musafia models.
I'm very pleased with it!
What a shame the BAM Hitech cases open up! I was really determined to get one. They're rather costly too, of course... =) The case I currently have, a BAM London, is very nice to use.
Thanks gang! I guess I'll be looking at the lighter side of Musafia. LOL

October 20, 2004 at 05:37 AM · Hi,
I've seen the BAM hightech cases (the silver ones, right?) and have heard of them opening up. They don't have a zipper that goes around the case, just the two latches on the front, which apparently aren't that secure.
Hope this helps,
Suhashini
