<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 9881992, member: 55"]Yes. Older violin cases were often quite loose. My first violin came in a case circa 1920, with a hand-sewn insert or top cover, made from blue flannel. And I just bought a new case for an old violin; and though recently manufactured, and very tight around the sides, the top of the violin was still unprotected...and since bows are stored in the lid, if a bow happened to come loose it would be bouncing around on the top of the violin. The case came with a matching top-cover for the violin...and shaped just like OP's item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
