From the Musafia website:
"To measure up to the great names that were then housing violins by the likes of Stradivari and Guarneri, no effort was spared designing the Master Series, first introduced in 1988 and immediately successful.
With multiple structural components in the bottom, each one painstakingly bonded (some with bolted-through steel L-reinforcements), the Master Series is a case of exceptional strength yet weighing less than many traditional cases. The padding follows the shape of the instrument closely to restrain it from excessive movement in case of impact, and ample accessory compartments add utility.
The Master Series is offered in four versions: Classic, Alisea, Exclusive and Aureum. The Aureum is lined in glove-quality Italian leather, velvet plush, and satin.
