I purchased an Oxford case back in the late ’90’s. It didn’t have many frills, but it was sturdy and held up well for about 10 years, when the music pocket started to rip because of me chronically overstuffing it. Since I’d had a good experience with my Oxford case, I decided to buy another one by the same company and in 2010 I ordered this case. Within a short period of using it, (I would guess about 2 or 3 years) the inside lining started coming loose, and the screws that held on the handle worked out and one got lost. I was able to purchase more screws at the local hardware store and cobble the handle together and used it like that for another couple years, then got tired of the hassle and banished it to the top shelf of my closet. Well, today I decided to properly refurbish it and while I at it, I got my old case out to fix it as well. After spending some time going over both cases, it’s clear to me that the new one is not as high quality as the old one. The outer black cloth is not held on with as many screws, the inner lining is flimsier, and the plywood is not as strong. Now, the new one IS lighter and has more features, and maybe that’s what the consumer wants. Personally, I’d like to have something that will protect my instrument well and last for many years. Unless they’ve really improved the build quality in the last eight years, I can’t recommend this case for a serious violinist. I’m planning to use it for my loaner violin, and my good violin will live in a Bobelock case. It weighs a ton, but all the hardware feels sturdier and has already held up better than this one.
