Gator GBO-VIOLA16 Lightweight Beginner Case for 16 – 16.5” Viola

Protective Lightweight Case for 16 to 16.5 Inch Violas
The Gator GBO-VIOLA16 Largo Series case is a durable, student-friendly solution for safely transporting your 16–16.5" viola. Designed with young musicians and educational environments in mind, this case combines a strong hybrid foam structure with convenience-driven features that support daily use. From practice to performance, it offers a balance of protection, comfort, and storage that fits the needs of developing players.

EPS Foam Shell Delivers Reliable Lightweight Protection
The core of this case is constructed from EPS hybrid foam, providing a durable, shock-absorbing structure without the extra weight of a hard shell. The rigid form helps protect your instrument from drops and knocks while staying light enough for student musicians to carry with ease. The exterior is wrapped in a tough black fabric that resists wear and gives the case a professional appearance.

Interior Nest Supports and Cushions Your Instrument
Inside the case, your viola rests in a contoured plush-lined interior that cradles it securely during transport. The molded nest prevents shifting, which can lead to scratches or stress points on the instrument. This design is particularly important for protecting the scroll, bridge, and fine tuners of a 16" or 16.5" viola.

Bow Storage Holds Two Bows Safely and Securely
This case includes dedicated slots for two bows, ensuring that they stay straight and undamaged. Whether you’re carrying a backup bow or one for performance and another for practice, the built-in storage keeps them protected and easily accessible. No separate bow case required.

Exterior Pocket Offers Quick Access to Music and Accessories
A front zippered pocket gives players extra space for storing music books, tuners, rosin, and other small accessories. It’s ideal for students who need to carry everything in one trip without worrying about forgotten or misplaced gear. The pocket lies flat but expands just enough to hold essential extras.

Carrying Options Designed for Ease and Comfort
The case includes both a reinforced carrying handle and a padded shoulder strap, giving users flexibility in how they transport it. The shoulder strap is great for hands-free movement between classes, rehearsals, or transit stops, while the handle offers a balanced grip for short-distance carrying.

YKK Zippers Ensure Long-Lasting Performance and Security
Durability continues down to the smallest detail. The case is equipped with genuine YKK zippers that deliver smooth operation and strong resistance to failure over time. These zippers protect your instrument and gear from accidental openings during transport and are trusted for their long-lasting performance.
