The Standard BAM High Tech Oblong Case is the foundation upon which BAM built its reputation for elite instrument security. If you love the unparalleled mechanical protection and thermal engineering of the high-tech series but prefer a classic, smooth, or metallic aesthetic over the textured Panther skin, this iconic French-made case is the ultimate professional standard.
The Core of BAM Protection: High R-Value Engineering
Just like its companion in the Panther line, the standard High Tech Oblong case relies on BAM’s proprietary shell design: a premium three-ply ABS structure wrapped around a high-performance Styrofoam core.
For string players navigating unpredictable regional climates, this structural design is a lifesaver. This dense core provides excellent insulation and high R-value thermal properties, ensuring that extreme temperature differentials don't shock your violin's tone wood, dry out your seam glue, or crack your varnish. It keeps the interior environment safe, stable, and completely sealed away from external elements.
Balanced Stability on the Table and Your Back
This classic oblong model features a back-mounted music pouch designed to drastically improve the case's center of gravity. Rather than placing storage on the lid—which forces lightweight cases to flip over backward on a table—BAM positions it at the base to anchor the case securely downward to the tabletop when the lid is raised.
When you sling the case over your shoulders using the premium, ultra-comfortable backpack straps, this music pouch acts as a thick, protective cushion against your lower back, softening your travel experience on long commutes or walking tours.
Light, Spacious, and Built for Decades
Despite its rock-solid rigidity and road-ready armor, the standard High Tech Oblong weighs only 5 pounds. It features a remarkably generous, open-format interior design that gives players maximum room. You can effortlessly store oversized shoulder rests, spare strings, humidifiers, and various accessories in the open cavities around the violin's suspension pads. Equipped with BAM's legendary security carabiners that are famously reliable and effortless to take on or off, this sophisticated hardshell case is a lifetime investment built to guard your instrument for decades.
Another fine case from Bam France. The original hightech, lightweight with a triple-ply structure for strength, insulation and humidity control. Strong, yet stylish this case will protect with European style!

BAM France is globally recognized as an industry leader in premium instrument preservation, and their Panther line is easily one of the most popular and sought-after collections we carry in the shop. Part of BAM's legendary High Tech collection, this elegant, sophisticated French-made case is a powerhouse of protection designed to last you for decades.
High-Tech Insulation Built for Harsh Climates
Operating out of Vermont, our team is hyper-aware of how brutal temperature and humidity differentials can be on a fine violin. We constantly emphasize the need for a case that shields your instrument from becoming too cold or too dry.
The Panther line solves this beautifully with its signature 3-ply ABS shell sandwiching a specialized Styrofoam core. This advanced material composition delivers massive insulation value and exceptional thermal properties. It prevents rapid climate shifts inside the case, keeping your instrument's micro-climate beautifully stable whether you are stepping into freezing winter air or a dry concert hall.
Smart Tipping Protection & Padded Back Comfort
The exterior is finished in a gorgeous, non-slip textured look with a striking contour design that looks as great as it feels. One feature we absolutely love is the layout of the music pouch: it is situated on the back-underside of the case.
When you load up a case with heavy music folios, opening the lid usually causes lightweight cases to violently flip over backwards. By anchoring the music pouch on the bottom, BAM uses the weight of your music to anchor the case securely to the tabletop. Furthermore, when you use the backpack straps, this padded pouch rests directly against your spine, providing an added layer of ergonomic cushioning so you don't feel the hard shell contours of the case against your back.

The new B14002 Economy violin case combines an attractive bonded velvet and a new light canvas cover with all the regular features of our wooden model B1002 violin cases. We named it the "Economy" case because it is a good choice for students and for others who want an entry level Bobelock violin case. This case has the same case construction features and standards for quality as our popular wooden model B1002. Only the price and weight have been reduced. Black waterproof exterior. Four bowholders. Includes shoulder strap and instrument blanket.
German Engineering. Exceptional Protection. 2.1 Kilograms.
There is a reason the GEWA Air series has become one of the most widely recommended professional violin cases in the market: it solves the central tension of case design — the trade-off between protection and weight — without compromise.
The GEWA Air 2.1 achieves a total case weight of approximately 2.1 kilograms (without accessories) while delivering protection characteristics that rival cases weighing significantly more. This is not a lightweight case that sacrifices your instrument to achieve portability. It is a precision-engineered protection system that happens to be light.
The Shell: Specially Developed German Thermoplast
The defining technology of the Air 2.1 is its specially developed thermoplast shell — a proprietary material formulated and manufactured in Germany to deliver extremely high break-resistance without the weight penalty of traditional fibreglass or carbon shells.
Thermoplast construction provides:
Impact absorption — the shell flexes under impact rather than cracking, dispersing force away from the instrument
Temperature stability — maintains structural integrity across the thermal variations of daily commuting, air travel, and seasonal changes
Dimensional consistency — the case retains its geometry under load, ensuring the suspension system maintains correct geometry at all times
The material is the foundation of everything else the Air 2.1 delivers. GEWA has been refining this shell formulation for decades, and the 2.1 represents the current evolution of that engineering.
Suspension System: Your Instrument Floats, Not Sits
The Air 2.1 features a padded suspension system — meaning the violin is held within the case by a cushioned cradle that suspends the instrument off the case walls, rather than simply resting in a shaped cavity. The distinction is critical: in a drop or impact event, the suspension system absorbs the shock before it reaches the instrument.
The interior is lined with black velour padding and includes a protection blanket — a soft cover that rests over the instrument when the case is closed, adding a secondary layer of surface protection and preventing resonance against the shell during transit.
GEWA Patented Bow Holders
The GEWA Air 2.1 includes GEWA's patented swivel-type bow holder alongside a standard flexible bow holder — a combination that accommodates different bow stick profiles and mounting preferences without strain or pressure on the stick. Bow storage is one of the most overlooked failure points in case design; cheap bow holders damage sticks through abrasion and sustained pressure. The GEWA solution is purpose-engineered to hold without harming.
Built for the Commuting Musician
Customers travel — to rehearsals, to lessons, to concerts, across cities and campuses. The Air 2.1 was designed with exactly this reality in mind:
2 detachable neoprene rucksack straps — ergonomic backpack carry that distributes weight across both shoulders, freeing hands for phone, coffee, or a score
Subway handles — rigid side handles purpose-built for the grab-and-go demands of urban transit, overhead bin stowage, and quick transfers
Functional, detachable accessory pocket — removable when not needed, fully functional when you need to carry rosin, a tuner, strings, or sheet music
Attached music sheet pocket — a dedicated external flat pocket for scores and music that keeps pages flat and accessible
For the student commuting to conservatory. For the professional navigating airports and concert halls. For anyone who plays seriously and moves frequently — the Air 2.1 was built for you.
Security & Color
The Air 2.1 includes a combination lock — a meaningful security feature for instruments of value, ensuring the case cannot be opened without your code in transit or in storage.

The Bio. An environmentally-friendly case for your violin. Made from flax fiber sheets, lined and upholstered to create a renewable answer to case luxury. Only 2.3 kg (5.07 lbs). Available in two colors: brown or grey. Additional outside sheet music pouch also available—pouch case also has a subway handle. Offers protection to both your violin...and the planet!
When players shop for a violin case, they are looking for three non-negotiable criteria: excellent thermal insulation, lightweight portability, and heavy impact protection. Normally, checking all three boxes simultaneously sends the price skyrocketing. The Pedi Oblong Violin Case stands out as a phenomenal, highly affordable exception. Priced comfortably under $300, it delivers a masterfully thought-out design that rivals cases twice its price.
Engineered to Prevent Tipping: The Bottom Music Pouch
Most case manufacturers slap the music storage pouch right on top of the lid. Pedi completely flips this design—literally. They situated the music pouch on the downward, bottom side of the case.
While this means the case rocks slightly rather than sitting perfectly flat on a tabletop, it solves a massive structural flaw found in other lightweight cases: it prevents the case from flipping over backwards. When you load a standard case lid with heavy sheet music and folios, the top-heavy weight causes it to violently tip over when opened, risking damage to your bow or instrument. By anchoring the music storage at the base, the Pedi case stays safely weighted to the ground.
Pillowy Feel with "Steel Shield" Protection
Don't let the soft, cushioned, almost pillowy exterior fool you—this case is remarkably rugged. Pedi uses an innovative Steel Shield Protection architecture, reinforcing all corners and structurally vulnerable strike zones with hidden steel brackets. It provides such exceptional rigidity that you could practically stand on the shell without collapsing it, yet it bypasses the heavy bulk or extreme price point of standard carbon fiber alternatives.
The Dynamic Vapor Mesh Blanket
The interior features an elegant, dual-tone felted velvet "French fit" molding that perfectly cradles the contours of your violin. However, our favorite hidden feature is the instrument blanket. While standard blankets are solid silk or satin dividers that act as an accidental vapor barrier, the Pedi blanket features a breathable mesh fabric center strip positioned directly over the fingerboard. This allows vital humidified air to circulate freely through the interior casing rather than trapping dry air against the tone wood.

Strength In Technology
The model 51150 is not just a lightweight case. Pedi's patented "Steel Shield Protection Structure" provides extreme durability and superb pressure resistance up to 175lbs.
Spacious & Weather Resistant
The Pedi Model 51150 is not just a basic case. The oversized music pocket has an added accessory pocket that fits anything from a pencil to a smartphone . The front guard flap is magnetized and the exterior fabric's water resistance combines with the shell material to help keep unwanted moisture away from the instrument.
Smart & Unique
Having a shoulder strap and a backpack system can be a great asset in our daily commute. But keeping unnecessary straps dangling around can not only be a minor annoyance, but also lead to unexpected accidents. The backpack system of the Pedi Model 51150 can be stowed and concealed completely when not in use.
Beyond Essentials On A Budget
Less expensive doesn’t always mean less functionality. The interior is equipped with two small and one large accessory compartment, a humidifier tube, and two leather-lined bow holders. The interior lining features an ultra-soft suede-style microfiber fabric which perfectly complements Pedi's "added safety" suspension system.
