You'd think that for a priceless stradivarius violin he'd get a stronger case. Something with a little reinforcement and a boatload of velvet cushioning.

Exactly what I was thinking.  If it was in a harder shelled case, the violin may have survived and he might have a broken rib or two.  Totally unfortunate situation.

shardian:
Yep, definitely no excuse here. That thing should be in a case that could survive a fall off a 10 story building.

However, you have to think about the people who are at this level. Appearances are important, and he couldn't exactly tote around an "ugly" case for his darling violin could he?

ChadTower:

Eh, all it would have to be is powdercoated black.  That's what most of them are anyway... inside it could be air cushioned made from anodized aluminum to aircraft specs and still look flat black and standard on the outside.

mr.Curmudgeon:
Yeah, I think I have a better case for my cheap-ass, no-name off-brand electric guitar than this guy had for the priceless work of art.

Sad.

shardian:
I'd bet money he carried it in the original case, that way people knew how important he was even with the violin in the case.
