What’s in my VIOLIN CASE + what you should have in yours

This is everything I carry in my case on a daily basis.
I'd also like to know if there's anything you keep in yours that I didn't mention!

Here's literally everything in my case:

MY INSTRUMENT

[hamwhacker]

I have a few family photos in my case and usually a few programs from recent concerts I have played in to remind me of people I have played with.

I also have a decent USB rechargeable book light to illuminate the music when I don’t have my large stand light.

I also have strong music mini-magnets to keep the music on the stand.

I put my 12” iPad in the sheet music pocket.

My pencils are 4B (soft) and have the magnetic thing on them to stick to the stand. I also have a decent rubber.

I have also started putting stickers on the outside of my violin case for places I have been to. Wish I had started that when I was younger!

Hi i also have pictures of my child, a mothersdaycard and 2 pics of when i played for christmas in special places in my case beside the “normal” stuff❤

What's in my case? A beautiful instrument, a synthetic bow, a sad and incorrectly used little lump of rosin, and the dream that I will some day play >:)

[JoaquinSoza-ex]

I personally keep up to 3 rosins in my case, nail clippers, peg wax, and cleaner in my case as well as 2 packs of strings because i like to keep back ups, and i personally keep 3 bows because i like to have 1 carbon fiber (i use the diamond nx bow) i have 1 wood bow, and one hybrid bow because i like to have backups and also just to change it up during gigs or if something happens. And aswell i keep my shoulder rest and obviously the violin. I do have 2 cases because of when i travel i like to use my fiberglass case but when im home i use my oblong case

The CodaBow Luma is indeed great! I was doubting between that one and the Joule, and eventually went with the Joule because of its powerful sound. The Luma was soft in sound, but playing it was effortless. 🙂

The way the humidifier was removed from the f-hole gave me a heart attack....

[markshard]

I used to have a solution that was both cleaner and a polish. Kennedy had a cleaner but I don't think it was a polish. Any suggestions?

[Ryan-zwfu]

I have 4 sets of strings in my case but they are all strings I’ve played on and most of them are frayed. I should probably get a new set for emergencies. lol. Also dark rosin is better than light rosin. I’ve had dark rosin for 3 years now and I love it

[ScarletTheCraftyBard]

The mute tip is really good because a couple years ago I would practice with a mute and I didn’t mean to but I practiced often with a mute and I stopped as soon as I realized what it was deteriorating in my skill

[sandralovelady]

Maybe a stupid question from a total newbie, can you accidentally dislodge the sound post inserting the dehumidifier? I’m a little nervous at the thought of inserting something inside my violin. Also, why dark over light rosin?

[CindyBrown-rf]

Hi Corie--love your videos! I bought the shoulder rest you recommended and LOVE it!!! Thanks so much for that tip. I currently use light rosin. Why do you prefer the darker style? I've read that it is used for violists and cellists. I'm willing to try if if it doesn't "gunk up" the hairs on my bows permanently if I decide to go back to light rosin. Thanks so much in advance if you have time to answer this question.

[Lavendel-lypb]

Hi Corry, how are you? What Kun shoulderrest would you suggest for a whole size violin? I saw that there are 2 or 3 different onces (i know it is personal but i was curious)

My violin case has metal square lock and once I accidently scratched my new violin's back by it sliding gently with its own gravity weight over its edge leaving 2 inch mark :(. I wonder if its easy to fix it in a way that it will not be noticable when looking from close distance or maybe i should leave it as first battle scar

[Isaactheviolinistandviolist]

What a beautiful video corrie sorry for the 6days late comment i am getting behind on commenting

[docteurpurpor]

My fiddle case has an extra bow, a rattlesnake rattle and a few greasy coats. You never know... 😂

A humidifier is definitely important, but the thought of a water-soaked snakesponge inside my violin's f hole is terrifying 😰
