Cushy174; Deluxe Carry-All0153; Oblong Backpack Case Cover for Viola

For my Jakob Winter case, I knew I needed a cover with pockets. This bag is well constructed, but it is far too big for my viola case. However, the shipping costs for a return were prohibitive, so I'm going to see if I can have it modified by a shoemaker. The only other one I found with pockets appeared to be a good fit, but shipping would be $50.

This is a fantastic cover. This fits over my oblong Tonareli viola case and provides enough storage to eliminate the need for me to carry my backpack around. I was a little hesitant because the price was a little steep, but it was well worth it.

There's plenty of space and pockets.

Great quality, but the size didn't fit, so I had to return it.

I thought the case had a viola case in it, but I was wrong; it is a backpack that can hold a viola case, but it does not have viola holding hardware inside; I thought the case had a viola case in it, but I was wrong; Although this case is large enough to accommodate a viola case, you will still require a viola case to protect your instrument. This backpack will be damaged if you simply throw a viola into the large compartment.

I play in a Manhattan orchestra, but have lived/worked (and thus had to haul my viola) between Manhattan and Brooklyn, Queens, the Rockaways, and even Long Island over the past few years. I originally had the case with the one shoulder strap, but it was awkward to walk through crowded city streets with, so I bought this one. Then it was put to the ultimate test: I left my viola at a friend's apartment overnight for the sake of convenience. There had been a serious fire (and the NYFD had brought me a stinky, soaked, ash-covered blanket). I arrived at the scene with a covered viola. My viola stayed in tune and the inside of my case was dry. This case literally saved my viola from a fire; now all I have to do is get rid of the stink. (I would give it only 4 stars for that reason, but I believe that would be unfair to Cushy's manufacturers, who created such a long-lasting product).
