UP, UP AND AWAY
At just 65cm long – 15cm shorter than Musafia’s standard models – this violin case is among the smallest on the market and has been designed with air travel in mind. It features the maker’s standard 6-ply wood-laminate shell and waterproof Codura outer layer, and can be customised to include a holder for a bow measuring 61cm or less. For longer bows, a separate bow case is available.
