- flexible bow bridges (for not breaking your bow if you carelessly take out of the holders)
- 4 lockable bow holder holders
- an overlapping case lid (for preventing the infiltrating of rain drops which had already passed the external rain jacket)
- an extra tape for fixing the violin neck
- a pleasant smell (of all the case materials and the glue)
- a nice design
- a weight of less than 3 kilogram
- a water-repellent rain jacket
- a premium hygrometer
- a premium humidor
- a really insulating corpus which does not directly pass through the external temperature into the case (as unfortunately all the modern synthetic cases I know do)

Cases for good violins!
In the first two years, I used a round JW – Eastman Fiber Glass violin case. I was impressed by its stylish design. And I thought, that a modern violin and a carbon bow could well supported by a modern violin case. But unfortunately, I was not as contended with that solution as I wished to be. In the German ‘Geigenforum‘, I blogged about my search, about the reasons, and the way to find a reliable catalogue of criteria
At the end, I decided to buy a a handmade violin case of Bergner, especially construed for my violin and its sleeping bag and equipped with all the nice things a very good violin case should have:
a case made of valuable materials- a large bag which really can cover the large orchestra sheet music
- an integrated backpack system
- a string tube holder
- a reliable locking system based on two autonomous components (lock, zipper, and press buttons)
- a suspension system
- some extra feet at the bottom and a grasp at the top for being able to carry the case vertically
- a large pocket on the right side (so, that unlocked bows fall onto the pocket instead of the violin)
- much stowage
- a provable system of shock absorption which does protect the violin (and not the case itself, as unfortunately all the modern synthetic cases I know do)
