Musafia Gil Sharon Violin Case by Gostrings in Black/outside and Grey/inside.

Violinist Gil Sharon, soloist and director of the Amati Ensemble and Dimitri Musafia, master violin and viola case maker in Cremona Italy for the past 32 years, teamed up to design and build a limited-edition violin case with innovation as its primary leitmotif. Ample closed and open areas provide an exceptional amount of room for accessories, 100% cotton velvet lining helps provide a stable microclimate while the instrument itself is French-fit cradled in slick, highest-quality satin - a Musafia first - especially recommended for instruments with soft varnish. A world's first innovation is the adoption of rubbery SoftTouchTM bow holders, which securely click-lock like many others but, unlike them, thanks to Mr. Musafia's patented detent-less design, they are made out of flexible, bow-friendly soft plastic. This helps protect the bow from wear and in case of accident. Ample closed and open areas provide an exceptional amount of room for accessories, 100% cotton velvet lining helps provide a stable microclimate while the instrument itself is French-fit cradled in slick, highest-quality satin - a Musafia first - especially recommended for instruments with soft varnish. Contrasting colors and innovative design, including a unique artistic hand-cut Modernist profile created in the lid personally by Mr. Musafia, of which no two are alike - abstractly recalling the unpredictable, non-linear formation of folds and wrinkles in the padding surrounding the violin - make this case stand out in a crowd... but only while it's open. On the outside, like all Musafia cases the GIL SHARON BY MUSAFIA is purposefully nondescript to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
