Hidersine Violin Case (Derwent Model), Demonstration

[@pecator70]

I bought a aeternum viola case 8 years ago; it was even adjusted for my big viola, for some extra money. But so far so good... I was very proud with my new fancy case and took great care of it: after 8 years it stil looked like new. But last year I wanted the case to be checked by Musafia: I noticed some loosening of the plates (case internally) and while they’re at it having the gilding re-done. So I brought it to the shop where I bought the case. They said it was no problem and sent the case, with my wishes, to Musafia....but Musafia refused! Because I didn’t have the case checked yearly, ... the shop-owner told me he didn’t understand Musafia’s reaction and never heard of this ‘rule’... They explained to Musafia that my case almost looks like new! But they would only do the service if I would pay all the costs...so NADA service! So beware: they are crooks! I am not a famous violist, nor do I own a fancy violin,...but they have treated me very unprofessionally and offered no service. I bought the expensive case for a reason...but all was a sham! Never again! Yours looks like a great case!!! Will look in to it! Thanks for posting!
