Violinists! Please name everything you keep in your violin case!?

Question

Everything you've got! And if you keep music in your case, is it in sheet form or book form? Extra strings? what key? Please be specific like that, but I don't need brand names or anything.

I'm planning to make a miniature violin (about 9 inches long) with it's case, and all the stuff that goes with it.

Thanks everyone!!

-$20-40 (you never know when you will get hungry)

-scale book

-etude book

-solo pieces (piano score and all)

-sponge/shoulder rest

-cleaning cloth

-dampit/humidifier

-pins that I got at violin/orchestra competitions

Answer 2

Ok, here's what's currently in my fiddle case:

Violin

2 bows

Shoulder rest

bandanna (used as cleaning cloth for fiddle)

in storage compartment:

rosin

heavy brass mute

Intellitouch electronic tuner

in outside storage pocket:

copy of "The Portland Collection" - book of fiddle tunes

Answer 3

These items should work well for a decorative art piece, if that's what you're doing:

1. Violin (I mean, duh)

2. Bow - this should be secured by a flap against the top half of the case. Almost all cases allow two bows.

3. Rosin - in a small compartment at the narrow end of the case.

These are the only 'visible' items, technically speaking. The other items are usually stowed in the zip compartment at the top of the case:

4. Shoulder rest

5. Sheet music (it might not fit some cases)

6. Extra strings (I myself keep an entire set, plus the two top strings - hence for violin it would be G, D, 2xA, 2xE)

7. Tuner (I never use this)

Other items you can try:

8. Cleaning cloth (most commonly wadded up in between the body and fingerboard of the violin itself)

9. Photo (many violinists and violists I know put photos of loved ones and friends inside the top half of the case, where the bow is

10. Cat (maybe not)

Hope I helped.

Answer 4

ITEMS IN A VIOLIN CASE:

5. A Mute its Looks Like This http://www.amazon.com/Glaesel-Violin-Ult...

6. A Chromatic Tuner

7. Sheet Music if I am being lazy and not putting in the pocket outside of the case

8. Extra strings

9. An Extra Bridge

10. Maybe A Small Bottle of Violin Wood Polishing Finish(wood polish basically

thats about it hope that helps!!!

oh and depending on what the case looks like a shoulder rest but usually you wouldn't want that inside the case!
