SKBSKB-264 15-16" Viola Case
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hardshell-style case sized for 15" to 16" violas. For players who carry an instrument to lessons, rehearsals or gigs regularly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students commuting to weekly lessons with a full-size viola
- Orchestra players loading in and out of rehearsal halls
- Anyone replacing a worn-out case that came with the instrument
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violinists — a 4/4 violin will shift inside
- Violas under 15" body length; too much internal slack
- Players wanting a lightweight backpack-style gig bag
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Viola-specific shape
Interior is cut for the wider viola body, so a violin will not sit securely in it.
Detail 03
Black exterior
Hides scuffs from case-to-case contact in a shared storage locker better than lighter colors.
Detail 04
SKB build
Molded protective shell rather than a padded fabric bag, so it resists crushing when stacked or checked under gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your viola's body length first — 15" to 16" is the fit window
- 02Bow, rosin and shoulder rest are not included
- 03Confirm your bow length clears the interior bow holders
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a 16.5" viola fit?
No. The interior is cut for 15" to 16" body lengths. A 16.5" instrument will not seat correctly and the lid may not close over the upper bout.
02How do I measure my viola?
Measure the back of the instrument from the top edge below the neck heel down to the bottom edge. That number, in inches, is the size the case is matched to.
03Does it hold a bow?
Yes, it is a viola case with bow storage inside. Check your bow's length against the interior before committing if you use a longer stick.
04Is this safe for air travel?
It is a protective molded case rather than a soft bag, but airlines make the final call on carry-on. Confirm dimensions with your airline before flying.
