I need to find a lightweight, shaped violin case to transport Hamish in when I go back for lessons that would be suitable for a regular long journey via bus/train. It needs to have a neck strap for extra security as Hamish is very narrow. Unfortunately my budget is very limited and I can't go over 100 pounds which I realise is not going to get me anything special but if anyone has any suggestions of suitable cases in that range it would be much appreciated.
