Hi all,
I'm a new member, this is my first post... I have a question for you all - you know those hard-soft bag-cases they make for violins and cellos? the kind that keep their shape? but they're solid and light? I've seen a photo of one on an expired Kijiji ad but haven't been able to find a place I can buy one. The one I saw had wheels on the back near the bottom so it would roll when tilted back. Anyone know where I could get me one of those or something similar?
Thanks.
 
If you mean the styro-box, try Jim Laabs.

I had one. It offered all the disadvantages of a hard box (wicked large & clunky), soft case (good for exactly ONE bounce) and cheap bag (stitching constantly failing). If you travel often by bus I suppose it's better than not.
