Best Violin Cases

For Travel

What Makes A Case Great For Travel?

Lightweight - so that it's easy to carry around. Ideally a case
1. that is less than 5 lb.

Compact - a small and slim case that you can easily take with
2. you on the plane, so you don't have to check it in.

Weather-resistant - a case that is water-resistant, and able to

3. withstand temperature and humidity changes while traveling.

Protective - in case you're asked to check-in your instrument.

4. You want a case that can withstand being tossed around by
baggage handlers.

What Are Carry-On Regulations?

General Carry-On Size Restriction:

22" x 14" x 9"

Aren't All Violin Cases Over 22"?
Yes. Because the bow is generally longer than 22". But no
worries! Almost all major airlines nowadays allow violin cases
as carry-on luggage. Simply let them know it's a fragile
wooden instrument. And try to stick with compact and slim
cases.

Quick
Tip!
Don't be the last to board! If overhead compartments fill up,
you could be asked to check-in your case.
