Maurizio Riboni UNOEOTTO Type 2 BX is a professional oblong violin case for a full-size 4/4 violin, made in Cremona, Italy. It is designed for musicians who need a rigid protective shell, relatively low weight, practical interior storage and comfortable everyday transportation.
The UNOEOTTO series combines traditional wooden case-making techniques with a lightweight structural design. Type 2 supports detachable backpack straps, while BX identifies the design variation of the sheet music pocket.
Elcoda package includes: the violin case, one violin blanket and two padded backpack straps. These accessories are included in the product price.
Lightweight wooden shell
The case features a rigid shell made from specially prepared multi-ply wood. Maurizio Riboni applies its own woodworking methods to combine strength, reduced weight and practical dimensions.
A distinctive feature of UNOEOTTO is the curved geometry of the lid and bottom. The shape contributes to rigidity and allows the material to be distributed efficiently.
The supporting internal structure has cushioning and insulating properties. It helps reduce the transmission of ordinary transport shocks and slows down rapid temperature changes inside the case.
Nevertheless, proper instrument care remains essential. Avoid leaving the violin exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, freezing conditions or abrupt changes in humidity.
Protective interior and violin suspension
The interior is lined with a soft protective material intended for gentle contact with the instrument's varnished surfaces. The violin rests in a shaped compartment with supports designed to reduce contact with rigid structural elements.
A suspension system helps limit the transmission of impacts. An additional padded support integrated into the lid restricts movement of the violin when the case is closed.
Always check that the instrument rests correctly on its supports and that stored accessories cannot touch the top, neck or other delicate parts of the violin.
Storage for bows and accessories
UNOEOTTO Type 2 provides a practical interior arrangement for the violin and the accessories needed for everyday musical activities.
- Four bow holders accommodate multiple bows.
- Internal accessory compartment provides storage for rosin and small essentials.
- Spare string tube allows strings to be kept separately from the instrument.
- External sheet music pocket is convenient for scores and flat documents.
- Violin blanket included by Elcoda provides an additional protective layer inside the case.
Having four bow holders is particularly practical for professional musicians who use different bows for rehearsals, concerts and specific repertoire.
Carrying by hand or as a backpack
Attachment points allow the use of removable straps. With the two padded backpack straps included by Elcoda, the case can be carried on the back, leaving the hands free when walking or travelling.
The straps may be detached so the case can be carried using its central handle. An additional handle on the short side is useful when holding it vertically. Protective feet support the case when placed on its designated end.
Unlike Type 3, which has a permanently attached backpack system, Type 2 offers the flexibility to attach or remove the straps as needed.
Practical advice: before carrying the case, check both strap attachments, ensure the case is securely closed and verify that the violin is correctly positioned inside.

Who is this case suitable for?
UNOEOTTO Type 2 BX is intended for professional violinists, conservatoire students, orchestral players, chamber musicians and anyone who regularly travels with a violin to lessons, rehearsals and performances.
It is particularly attractive to musicians seeking the protection of a rigid wooden case without the weight of some traditional designs.
Check the dimensions and proportions of your violin before purchasing, especially if it differs from conventional full-size instruments. Proper fit within the case is more important than the nominal 4/4 designation alone.
Maurizio Riboni began their artisan activity in the 1970's, when Cremona's violin making fame was spreading across the world thanks to the knowledge and experience of a small group of violin makers. Since then, they began to think out the product line according to the customer's different requirements, from the student to the professional. With 30 years of experience under the belt, Riboni has always put first extreme care in design, and a good balance between lightness and strength because that is the only way to make both a good quality and a beautiful case. Riboni cases are made in wood laminate, some of the lightest and strongest material for this particular use. The Riboni cases are made on order. | EU legal representative:
