Shar Music® Raincoat for Violin

I'm so glad to have the Shar Raincoat for Violin. I was previously putting my case in a large plastic trash bag when it was raining heavily. I found myself wishing something like this was available and then, there it was. I do wish the opening for inserting the case were just a little larger, but it is manageable.

When I bought this, I was so excited to try it out, but unfortunately, it didn't fit my case inside which made me sad, I mean It's a good idea, but it didn't fit into my case. Maybe a custom made would be great.

My title says it all. It takes a minute or two to put your case inside the bag, or to take the case out of the bag. Once inside, it's a good fit - I have the oblong shape - and the bag (raincoat) is quite sturdy and waterproof. For 4 bucks it's a very good deal if you get free shipping.

High quality material and great item for the price. Only complaint is that it doesn't have a zipper and you have to remove it entirely every time then put it back on.

I'm one of those people who are maybe a tad too overprotective of their instrument. Full suspension case, double locking it up, humidifier, buckling it up safer than I would a child: you name it, I've done it to protect my violin. Lately, the weather around
my place has been a dripping soggy mess. It would be nice, actually, if I lived a hermit's life, but unfortunately people don't pay for me to play in the comfort of my own room. Thus comes the string musician's rain dance that we all know, hunched figures
running like the devil is coming after us with a new sonata idea involving double stops while clutching a precious instrument covered in shawls, jackets, corner store plastic bags, and whatever random junk we think can protect our babies. And they get wet
anyway. So, I saw this magnificent invention, a raincoat meant for instrument cases, and just could not resist. Five bucks for peace of mind and keeping my body in one piece while running blind through a downpour in a church parking lot? Deal. Cons: Takes
forever to put on and off. Chances of looking like a 10 year old cellist who is trying to fit a 3/4 cello into a 1/2 case: high. Case handle may be a tad too large to fit through the hole. Looks baggy, yet somehow a tight fit? If you don't have the SHAR logo
facing outwards, you will definitely look like a suspicious character. If you do, now you become a suspicious character who wasn't good enough at performing illegal activities and requires a sponsor to continue to perform their work
