Musafia Cremona Italy PRE-OWNED, DEMO, PROTOTYPE, DISCOUNTED and COLLECTIBLE CASES
Musafia offers six alternative opportunities for those seeking quality on a budget, as well as collectible cases for the connoisseur: 1 - REFURBISHED PRE-OWNED CASES: Generally trade-ins, these cases are fully reconditioned as much as possible, and have a new case cover and hardware unless otherwise mentioned. Refurbished pre-owned cases have the same lifetime warranty as any new Musafia case (except if indicated differently). Up to 75% discount from normal prices. 2 - DEMO CASES: New cases that have been at trade fairs, displayed in the Musafia showroom or at retailers' showrooms. They have never been "used", and often are indistinguishable from a "completely new" case, although they can no longer be sold as "new". They have the same lifetime warranty as any new Musafia case (unless indicated differently). Up to 40% discount from normal prices. 3 - BLEMISHED: "Errare humanum est." Occasionally a case will not come out 100% aesthetically perfect. A glue spot or a wrinkle may be visible on a flat surface, or perhaps a piece of velvet gets frayed on an edge. Instead of dismantling these cases (thus representing a cost), they are offered for sale at a discount. These cases have the same lifetime warranty as any new Musafia case (unless indicated differently). Up to 50% discount from normal prices. 4 - PROTOTYPES, TEST CASES, and EXERCISES OF STYLE: Mr. Musafia is always active in the quest to further perfect and develop his cases. For this reason, cases with new features which may or may not go into production become available. Other cases are tested for a variety of properties, or are prototypes of new models soon to appear. Still others are "exercises of style", cases in which Mr. Musafia uses all of his creativity to try new aesthetic effects. These cases are offered on the market, after a thorough inspection and whatever reconditioning may be necessary. There may be slight imperfections in the finish. These cases have the same lifetime warranty as any new Musafia case (unless indicated differently). Up to 50% discount from normal prices. 5 - CLOSEOUTS: New cases that for one reason or another have never been put on the market, and which now differentiate from those currently being offered new. They have never been "used", and in general are indistinguishable from a "completely new" case. They have the same lifetime warranty as any new Musafia case (unless indicated differently). Up to 50% discount from normal prices. 6 - COLLECTIBLES: More and more violin enthusiasts are turning to violin cases as collectibles, and in fact recent auctions show rare cases going for up to three times more than the original estimate. For this reason we are pleased to offer on this page also celebrity pre-owned cases, one-off unique works, restored older cases with particular significance, and other collectibles.
New cases added Jan. 30, 2011. As you view this page, some cases may already be sold.WE CANNOT SHIP THESE CASES TO KOREA or JAPAN, SORRY!

Δ Δ Δ we are extremely proud to offer a very rare and sought-after gem: one of the 250 “Salvatore Accardo by Musafia” cases made between 2004 and 2010. Once its limited-run production was terminated, many people still tried to find a new one available at our dealers, often searching world-wide via internet and only rarely with success – very quickly it sold out completely and new examples became no longer available.This violin case (one of 238 made for the violin) is practically unused. It is in virtually perfect condition inside and out, and did not require any refurbishment at all, making this case a truly rare opportunity.Also offered in this new listing are no less than four “Exercise of Style” cases, in which Mr. Musafia gave his creativity free reign. Based on the popular Luxury Ultralight model, each example dramatically re-interprets the theme differently, and interior lining includes precious Chinese silk brocades and Italian silk velvet, with special finish. Each case is unique and will never be repeated.We also have other cases including two demo Aeternum series 3 cases (with Tropicalization), returning from display, and cases which were on exhibit at the Cremona Violin Makers’ Consortium, as well as experimental Luxury Ultralight and unique silk-lined Momentum.All cases may be retrofitted, with 20% discount off normal prices, with the following options: Tropicalization, waterproofing, A440 tuner, anti-intrusion bottom panel (unless already included - see descriptions).Δ Δ Δ
