Using this violin case is easy. First, open the case using the high - quality YKK zippers. Gently place your 4/4 size violin in the plush - lined interior nest. You can use the exterior pocket to store small accessories like rosin or extra strings. When carrying the case, you can use either the comfortable shoulder strap or the discrete backpack straps for a more convenient way to travel. For maintenance, keep the case clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture as this could damage the EPS material. When not in use, store the case in a cool, dry place. Make sure to check the zippers regularly for smooth operation and replace them if they show signs of wear.
