Best Jakob Winter JW 51015 POP Viola Case Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

This case is probably the lightest case you will find, and it is incredibly stylish. For these two reasons, I complete love it! However there are some drawbacks which you may find severe. Firstly, I don't trust this case to protect my instrument as well as others I have had. Though you shouldn't put anything on top of any case, that applies doubly so here as the shell isn't rock solid like normal wood or fibreglass cases. While it doesn't flex very much at all when closed, I doubt it has a lot of compression strength. This is the price of being lighter. Violists not having a standard shape, you may have some fitting issues. The corners of the lower bout on my instrument press against the foam insulation, which means it is vulnerable to impact from the sides. This is pretty worrying,...

The case looks very nice and elegant, and it is super light. I was worried about the sheet music compartment - if it would open up accidentally or if the scores would get wet in rainy days, but everything is just fine - the sheet music compartment stays closed very well (and you can adjust it in two sizes - also for bigger orchestra scores), and my scores have never become wet in rainy days. I give 4 stars though, because there is no clip for shoulder rest, and the straps make very annoying squeaky sound. Overall I would recommend to buy this Viola case.

I ordered this case with confidence because I was satisfied with my Oblong Jakob Winter case. The build quality of this one is not comparable to older models of Jakob Winter Viola cases. Yes, it is very light which I really like but the quality of the ABS material is cheap. This is not a German quality....average Chinese quality for sure!
