Violin cases serve three distinct buyer groups. Stocking all three tiers maximizes your string instrument accessory revenue.
Tier 1: Student
Fiberglass and plywood cases with molded interiors. Durable, affordable, and the default for school rental programs. Look for secure latches and handle comfort.
Tier 2: Intermediate
Suspension cases (like our hightech ABS builds) that float the instrument on foam cushions. Lightweight with accessory pockets – popular with advancing students.
Tier 3: Professional
Carbon fiber and high-end wood cases with hygrometer control, blanket storage and premium hardware. Price points above $300 retail.
Retail Mix
60% student, 30% intermediate, 10% professional is a healthy starting mix. Offer bow cases and shoulder rest add-ons at the counter – attachment rate is high.
