Best and lightest violin case?

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

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!

It's all a matter of personal taste though. Good luck!

I'm very pleased with it!
