Violin Case Buying Guide: What Retailers Should Stock in 2018

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.
